how do I set duckduckgo to open when I open a new window
I have duckduckgo set as my home page but I want it to open on duckduckgo when I open a new window, how do I do this. I am also confused about the favourites page and how to access it like it is easily accessible and usable via Explorer. Lastly how do I save the percentage of the page so that it opens at that each time and I don't always have to change it?. Cheers.

That add on you supplied is not available on my version of Firefox unfortunately.
Oh... could you go ahead and update to Firefox 45.0.2. You can request the update using the About Firefox dialog from the Help menu, as described in this article: Update Firefox to the latest release.
Yes the first two answers helped thank you, but I mean the zoom percentage. I set it at 120% but every time I open a new window I have to set it again.
You can use an add-on to default the default zoom level to 120%. These have stood the test of time:
- Default FullZoom Level
- Zoom Page (includes "fit to window" feature)
- NoSquint
After setting your global or default zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites using Firefox's standard zoom feature (keyboard shortcut or mouse wheel).

Let's see whether I can answer all three:

Your home page should open automatically in a separate new window, but in a new tab, you would get the Firefox new tab page, which has a search box and tiles for your frequently/recently visited pages. To change the new tab page to match your home page, you can use this add-on:

I am also confused about the favourites page and how to access it like it is easily accessible and usable via Explorer.
On the main toolbar, you should see a pair of icons that look like a star and a clipboard or notepad. (Screen shot attached for reference.) That icon on the right drops down the Bookmarks menu. Is that the method you're using now or does that help? How did you like to access your Favorites in IE?
Lastly how do I save the percentage of the page so that it opens at that each time and I don't always have to change it?
Firefox should store the last resizable window size and re-use that. So it's helpful to stretch out the window as large as possible by clicking and dragging the corners to the desired size. (If you click the maximize button, Firefox doesn't store that as a change for the resizable window size.)
Does that work for you?

Great, thanks a lot.
