How To Change Your Internet Browser Homepage

When you start up your internet browser, whether it is Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Google Chrome, to look at pages on the Internet, the first page that comes up is your Internet starting page, that is your home page. But you’re not stuck with it - you can change it to any page you like.

Often, homepages on internet browsers are set to be the “default” which your ISP has put in, which is good for them, as it directs you straight to their site. You may also see links on some websites showing “Make us your homepage”.

Regardless of what internet site you would like as your homepage, the website you have when you start up your internet browser should be your choice, and I hope to explain how you can make the necessary changes to your internet browser.

If you have Internet Explorer:

  • Click on Tools on the menu bar at the top of the screen
  • Select Internet Options
  • Under the General tab, the top section shows Home page with a picture of a house, and a box showing you current home page(s)
  • Type in the Internet address (URL) of any home page you choose (including the http://)
  • Select Apply and then OK
  • Restart Internet Explorer to ensure your new home page opens.

If you have Mozilla Firefox:

  • Click on Tools on the menu bar at the top of the screen
  • Select Options
  • Under the Main tab, the top section shows Homepage
  • Type in the Internet address (URL) of any home page you choose (including the http://)
  • Select OK
  • Restart Mozilla Firefox to ensure your new home page opens.
