I need the URL for the Firefox startpage so I can put it in my homepage protection, because all I get when I open the browser is "about blank."

I'm going through hell to just get the URL for the Firefox browser/start page. I just did a factory image recovery and all I get after downloading and installing the Firefox browser is a tab that says "about blank." I'm not getting the URL in the address bar so that I can put that URL into my home page protection (I'm using Advanced System Care Ultimate). Once I get that URL and place it in the home page protection box of my security software, I will be good to go, because I want to use Firefox as my default browser. I've searched the FAQs and asked the question in every way that I know, in English, and there seems to be nobody out there who can just tell me the URL for this start page. While I don't understand why this is so difficult to get, I certainly need and would be grateful for a fix to this problem.

It's actually called about:home but the only way to know would be if you were viewing the page and called up the Page Info dialog... which for future reference you can get using any of these methods:

  • right-click a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info
  • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info
  • click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information
