Why when I open another Tab it doesn't open up my home page, just a blank page?

I have already gone to Tools > Options, Tabs.

I also have done Control Panel > Internet Options > Tabs.

Basically when I open up Firefox my home page comes up fine. But when I want to open up another Tab, a tab opens up but all i get is a blank white page. All the settings are at "open new tabs as home page" so it shouldn't be doing this.

ANY ideas?

Default action in Firefox is a blank page for a new tab, but there are a few extensions which allow the user to specify a specific page. Sounds like you might have an extension installed, to give you that "open new tabs as home page". Which one?

Control Panel > Internet Options > Tabs is for Internet Explorer, those settings don't affect Firefox.

The only extensions I have are Awesome Screen shot & Download Helper enabled.

Use this extension to add that preference to Firefox.
