Hi

Yes, Firefox for Android will open on the home page, from which you can navigate to the page or the service that you need.

As an alternative you can add a shortcut to your Android home screen that takes you directly to a web page. One way to do this would be to add a shortcut to that page to your Android home screen, so that when you open that icon it opens Firefox and takes you straight to that page.

• Open the page you want to visit in Firefox for Android.
• Open the Options menu and long press on the star icon to save it as a bookmark.
• When it saves, you will see a confirmation box at the bottom of the screen, together with an Options menu.
• In that menu is the ability to add the bookmark to your homescreen.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

I've finally sussed it out, to use a British English slang expression!

Pace Moderator above, Firefox does not now open on your Home Page, but can be made to do so.

Tap the Menu icon (3 dots in top right corner), and select Settings from drop-down menu. In General, Set Home Page as Bookmarks, or your choice of page (if you haven't already).

Open a new tab. This will open on your Home Page, i.e. Bookmarks, which is mine, and which I am using as an example.

If you had it bookmarked already*, the bookmark will have disappeared - that particularly annoyed me! So tap the Star icon to remove the now non-existent bookmark, and tap it again to create a bookmark to your desired Home Page.

If you're quick enough to catch the dialogue box, tap Options, and tap to set a link to your Home Page on your Android Home Screen, if required. If you don't, and in any case, to revert to that page from any other, simply use your new bookmark.

Why the developers made a change like that, when in previous versions the browser would simply open on your Home Page, is beyond me. Why they leave the poor users to flounder around trying to work round their unnecessary change is equally beyond me. I occasionally wonder if there are some software developers who are over-endowed with brains, but are challenged in the Common Sense department!

Note: *as I had; I've always regretted the lack of a Home Page icon in Android browsers, and bookmarked it to get round the problem.

Firefox is a great browser on a PC, it is utterly pathetic on Android. The logic of the Android developers, if that's what they call themselves, is "we can bury the intuitive stuff and show them our stupid ideas of the build" Runner up in lousy browser category right behind Dolphin and Next.
