guide to changing the homepage in firefox The webpage that Firefox loads when first opened is referred to as the homepage. A lot of people set their homepage to their email page, or some other page they use on a regular basis.
You can set your homepage to whatever webpage you like, but bear in mind it will be the first page that you see when you open Firefox, so make it a useful one!

Some examples would include: Your email account, if you check your emails first thing, or maybe your preferred news website or search engine.
