    I have FireFox and just got Speed Dial Add On.

    But I Still See Google as my Home Page when I Open FireFox.

    How do I Turn on Speed Dial so I can Set Speed Dial as my Home Page?
    Then I can Add other Pages to the Speed Dial Page.

    Hi biferi,

    Which Speed Dial do you have installed.... there are a couple of different ones.
    Is it this one.....

    I have this one installed and have it set as my home page.
    There was a recent update which has messed it up big time.
    Everytime I start Firefox, Speed Dial just opens to a black screen.
    If I then click the Speed Dial icon on the toolbar....

    It opens normally and shows all of my saved sites.
    Until the glitch has been sorted, I wouldn't recommend using it as your home page.

    There used to be a setting to automatically set it as your home page.... but that option has now been removed.
    But there is a work around if you wanted to try it..... but like I say there is a glitch using it as a Home page at the moment.

    Start Firefox.
    Click on the Speed Dial icon and show the page.
    Now close down the normal Page and only leave the Speed Dial page open.
    Now click on Tools >> Options >>> Home.
    Under Home Page and New Windows, if it says Firefox default.... click the down arrow and change it to Custom URL's.
    Once you do this you will then get an option to Use Current Pages.
    Click this option.
    The link for Speed Dial will now be added as the home page.

    I just Opened my FireFox Browser and on my Speed Dial Page it put FaceBook TuneIn and another WebSite.

    I had to go and Remove them.
    Why did it put them with out me knowing?

    I know that when first installed it will add a few sites to give you an idea.
    From the Speed Dial page...

    Not sure if this is what has happened though.
    I've never experienced any sites being added out of the blue.
