How do I remove the Google search box from the middle of the home page? The toolbar box is enough for me.

I'd prefer a blank home page, and suddenly this big Google search box with the Mozilla logo is occupying the middle. The cursor automatically goes to this Google search, and usually I start in the address bar over-riding 'about blank'. Many thanks for any suggestions which I don't find in the tools/options menu.

If you like to keep things simple, here’s how to set your home page in three easy steps.

  1. Open the web site you want to set as your home page. If you want a blank home page, open a new tab.
  2. Click the icon to the left of the web address, drag it to the Home button, and release. Home page Win1
  3. Click Yes to set this as your home page.

Try it out: Click the Home button and your new home page will load in the current tab. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
