unable to locate the url address for Mozilla Firefox Start Page to add to my drop down menu of homepage choices, I also called customer service 2x and hung up on me both times.

I am attempting to make Firefox my home page as well as default browser, the browser was easy but finding the https www address is not. please advise. I was using Chrome as browser but am in the process of deleting all previous due to malware.

hello, the default homepage in firefox is about:home.

since you have one adrware addon present in firefox as well, i'd recommend to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

Purchased and running MWB and multiple clean up s/w. Am in contact with MWB staff and they are working with me. About:home is not an https address. I need to correct the third address below, the first two work fine.

yes, about:home is not a web address but an internal firefox address - you can type it into the address bar like a normal url though...

Note about:home and about:newtab both have search bars on them.

Those and other search options will be controlled by and change whenever you change the Search Engine used by the searchbar

about:home is one of the many about: urls in Firefox as you can see the list of valid urls for that version in about:about

about:home has been the default homepage since Firefox 4.0 as before it was the old www.google.com/firefox

Mozilla does not do phone support if that is who you tried to call.
