Hi All,

When I load up my browser it opens up 2 tabs, the second tab seems to display in pictorial format a list of the last 10 pages I've viewed, how do I get rid of this tab?

Thanks in advance.

    I use chrome and it doesn't do that for me,I just get the 1 tab with the most frequented websites showing.
    Have you gone into the settings page and set it for how you want it to start when you open it ?

    The settings area does seem to allow the removal of this tab, one final question; when I add a new tab how do I get it to display as my home page?

    Get your home page up.
    Then go on to the settings page and under 'on start up' tick 'open a specific page' and then click on 'set pages' highlighted in blue and then the same on 'use current page' followed by 'ok'

    To add to that - if you see a list of multiple pages, hover over the one(s) you want to remove and an X appears to the right of it. Click that and it's gone.

    It's like a rear view mirror, it's so you can see where you've been . . . :)
