Today I powered up my computer, punched the Firefox button on my desktop toolbar, and - whoa! - my mymsn.com homepage had disappeared. I can't navigate the confusing 'how to' pages on the Firefox site (I'm 76 yo), so I tried the sign in button, and my email address and/or the password I set maybe two weeks ago were/was rejected. So the site sent the secret reset password to my msn.com email address - WHICH I CAN'T GO TO unless I can get to my mymsn homepage. CATCH 22. I've been a happy Firefox user for years, but now I am much less so.

Hi, try this: Go to the website you want to set as your home page, then right click on its URL (address) in the Address/Location bar > Copy.

Now see the picture under the heading 'Restore the default home page' in the article below, and if anything else is in 'Home Page' on the General tab, just delete it. Now right click > Paste, the address into the box and close the tab. Your selected website should now be set as your home page.

For reference: You can also bookmark your home page - or any other one: Bookmarks in Firefox.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
