Hi Diego Victor, thanks for the very quick response. Sorry I am delayed getting back to you. This made setting home page was easy. I can see from cor-els reply how to make a new tab have the sites I want so am trying that for now but still cannot work out how to make a new tab actually go go www.google.co.uk. I could not get there from Victors reply. I went to about:config but it said this could invalidate my warranty so nervous of that. Sorry if it is just me being a bit stupid but find technical stuff hard - just ask my boss as I work in IT!!

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue See:

As long as you follow the instructions and only change the value of the browser.newtab.url pref to http://www.google.co.uk/ then there is nothing to worry about.

That warning is a bit of a joke: there is no warranty!

Anyway, I suggest making your new tab URL an HTTPS URL, since Google is going to switch you to the secure connection anyway and that will save however many milliseconds that adds:

https://www.google.co.uk/
