Well, from the user name, it looks like I've had problems with you in the past. I am guessing you didn't answer me. No matter, I have more questions.

1. why don't you have a search engine? I am getting rid of Google, duckduckgo is still amateurish, and Bing is a Nazi.

2. why don't you have the guts to include a contact email on your site?

3. why does a new tab open up as a blank and why can't it be personalized?

2. There is no contact email for Firefox, just as there is no contact email for most free and open source software projects. We would be flooded with hundereds of emails a minute and don't have the resources to handle that. That is why we have this support site to help those users who need support. This way the community can help with support as well :)

3. Try an add-on such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customize-aboutnewtab

1. Mozilla develops Software, not Search Engines. Developing a large search engine that can compete with ones such as Google Bing, etc. would require a large number of resources and have very little positive impact for Users. 2. This is the support site for Firefox, there is no contact email. 3. You can customize a new tab. Type about:config into your address bar, press enter, and search for browser.newtab.url. You can set this to be whatever URL you want your new tab to be.

1. I understand your response to question one. Too bad, Google is taking over the world. 2. I KNOW this is the support site, but there IS no customer support site with a contact email. 3. I know I can customize a new tab, but I am asking why the background color can't be changed or a photo uploaded to it.

Now THAT is exactly what I was looking for. This will do perfectly for those at the Google forum looking to use their own image and using the Google search bar.

I understand you don't want to have a contact email, and that this wasn't the place for my rants, but it turns out to have been the right place.

Thank you very much.
