I want to use my home page for all new tabs
I know how to set my home page - when I open a new tab I want my home page to appear.
I just updated Firefox and now the "new tab" app no longer works. Come on, people - just because your developers think we (users) don't need our home page on new tabs doesn't mean they're right.
When I open a new tab, how can I get it to display the home page of my choice?
Why is this such a problem? You're seriously forcing me to go back to Internet Explorer.

Which new tab "app" do you have? Have you checked for an update for that "app"?
Mozilla has a Firefox add-on application to use the home page for each new tab. I updated today and now that existing application will not work with the newest version of Firefox.
When I click "+" to open a new tab, I want my home page displayed. It's very simple. How can I accomplish that?

The ability to change the new tab page was removed since Firefox 41.0
The old Firefox 43.0 you appear to be using is not a upgrade.
There is a alternative option, you can place the Home icon on the toolbar and middle-click the Home button to open Homepage in a new tab.

If you mean "New Tab Override" then that is not a application but a Extension. It is also not made by Mozilla as the vast majority of Extensions hosted at addons.mozilla.org are made by a third-party author or company.
Application versus Extension is a mostly-sterile distinction because the desired result in my situation is the same. If extension it is, would you be kind enough to provide a link?

The version of Firefox I am using was what I downloaded from the Mozilla website about two hours ago. If there is a newer-new version, would you be kind enough to provide a link?

Why? There seems to be quite a few people who are irritated by that somewhat irrational decision. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a feature that (most) other browsers include as standard.
