Please can you tell me how - in Firefox 5.0 - when I open a new tab it will open my home page. Currently it only opens blank pages

Before I upgraded Firefox, each time I opened a new tab, it opened with my home page. Which is how I set it.

Now each tab opens blank so I have to go click the home icon - very annoying. I would like each tab I open to open with my home page. Not just the first window.

      • Click Help > Check for Updates
      • Follow the prompts for updating

Alternately you can use the "Home" button to open a new tab with homepage if you Middle-click it versus using left-click.
