How To: Open Home Page in New Tab?
Hi All,My apologies for a simple question. Searching forums has returned nothing but pages of useless results (the search engine really needs help!). Searching help for "Home Page" in the Opera application returned 0 relevant results (of about 6 total).
How does one set Opera to open the home page specified in preferences for each new tab?

I agree completely with noloader. I am trying Opera again after a number of years because Firefox 19 keeps crashing.
I have managed to get rid of most of the crap that Opera has created since I last used it, but this issue really annoys me, why is there no easy way to open a new tab with your homepage?
I know firefox needs an add on, which is stupid, but at least there is one and it is probably the most downloaded one.
I would be grateful if someone could suggest an EASY way to do this and save all users lots of clicks.
A tick box in preferences (which by the way should be on one of the toolbars and not hidden under control f12, which took me a while to find)
is an excellent idea.
Thanks

Well, you can add a button to do it: http://extendopera.org/macro/content/open-new-tab-and-go-home-page
Based on that, I also added a keyboard shortcut for it:
1) Go to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Shortcuts
2) Click the "Edit" button next to the "Keyboard Shortcuts" list
3) Create a new shortcut or edit an existing one
4) In the right-hand box ("Action") of the shortcut you're editing, type the following:
New page, 1 & Go to homepage,,"New tab",New page
5) Press Enter and/or click OK to save it.
I imagine you could add a menu item in the same way, etc.
Thanks to whoever made that button.
