Change Your Home Page


This tip is provided by Dee Crocker of the Oregon State Bar Professional Liability Fund.

The home page is the first page that loads when you open your web browser and is often a page you wish to visit every time you're online. Your favorite search engine, email client, or corporate portal are all examples of common Home pages. To set a new home page for your browser, go to the web page you want to designate as your start page and:

Internet Explorer: Select Tools | Internet Options. In the Home Page section, click the Use Current button. You'll notice that the URL in the Address text box changes to the URL of the site you're currently on. Click OK to save your changes.

Mozilla Firefox: Select Tools | Options. In the Main menu, click the Use Current under My Home Page. The URL address changes to the URL of the site you’re currently on. Click OK to save your changes.
