iGoogle as home page?

    Hope this is the right place for this question....

    I had iGoogle set as my home page on my laptop - I use Firefox. A day or two ago I started getting a Firefox home page when I open a tab. I can't for the life of me remember how to re-set Google as my home page.

    Can anyone help? I suspect it's blindingly obvious, but I've clicked on everything and just can't figure it out!

    Thanks for any help!!

    Navigate to www.google.ie in firefox. Press the alt key once->Tools->Options->General Tab and for homepage click "Use Current" button and apply. Should be sorted.
    Alternatively when on www.google.ie drag the far left logo in the long address bar onto the home icon, and confirm changing the homepage

    Cheers!

    I'm sure there used to be an easier way to do it - I'd never have figured that out by myself before :D

    Thanks a million.

    Thats been the method for years :) . Some sites gave the option to set it via the site, but I reckon for security reasons this doesn't seem to happen in modern browsers. Glad its sorted :)
