Does anyone know how to set Firefox to open the home page when pressing ctrl 'T' for a new tab instead of a blank page.
IE7 does this if the right box is ticked.

Quote from: orbrey I use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-T for new tab, then Alt-home for the home page).
With tabbed browser preferences you can make Ctrl-T load your home page.

Yep, that's what I use. It can be downloaded from here.
This is the setting you're looking for:

Not too sure about this one as I've the extension installed here and at home. If I disable it though, I still have to click go before I'm able to load anything from the address bar history.
I'm guessing it's a known bug. Not to sure if the add-on is still in development or has been shelved though TBH.
Another problem I noticed is after you upgrade Firefox. It forgets the setting I mentioned above and reverts back to each tab opening with a blank page. You have to go back into the config to change it.
I wonder if Firefox 3 will accommodate this functionality without the need for an add-on?

Quote from: Bob ...reverts back...
Aaargh - Double negatives!!!
It either reverts, or goes back - not both, since they are both the same thing.

Don't start me off with double negatives like 'I haven't got none'
If my daughter asked me to lend her £10 I say "I haven't got no money at all" which she takes as meaning she gets nothing and I feel better knowing I haven't lied to her.

Pluralised singles make me wince, such as 'Can I have one of those ones please'.
