Setting the start page in Mozilla FireFox
The Mozilla browser is a freely developed web browser and is supplied to users without a pre-installed start page (in cases of downloading the program from the official site).
To install Yandex as such, do the following:
1. Open Mazila and go to settings.
2. In the "General" section, select "Show home page" and enter its address below - https://www.yandex.ru.
The changes will take effect the next time you start FireFox, and Yandex will become the new home page.
Mozilla version for mobile phones
Do you want Yandex to open when FireFox starts and on your phone, no problem.
1. Open "Options" and go to the "General" tab.
2. In the "Home" section, select "Set Home Page".
3. In the pop-up window, enter the address of the search engine and click "Ok".
To make sure that the actions performed are correct, you can simply restart the browser.
We make Yandex the start page in Google Chrome 63.00 and higher.
The Chrome browser from the well-known Internet giant Google is based on the Chromium engine, so the instructions for installing the start page will also apply to the following browsers:
- Amigo;
- Orbitum;
- Satellite.
By default, for quick access to the necessary sites, Chrome uses the "Home" button, and on the first screen, a panel of the resources you most visit is opened.
You can change the start page on Yandex manually through the settings.
1. Open Google Chrome settings.
2. Find the "Launch Chrome" section and select "Specified Pages".
Be careful, the list may already contain addresses of other sites and when you start the browser, in addition to Yandex, additional tabs will open. You can avoid this situation by leaving no more than one address in the list.
3. Click "Add page" and in the window that opens, enter "yandex.ru".
Everything. If you have followed the sequence of actions correctly, when you start Chrome again, the Yandex home page will automatically open.
Mobile Chrome
Setting Yandex as the home page in your Chrome mobile browser is not much different from its "web" version.
1. Open the browser, go to the settings section and select "Home".
2. By default, most users already have this feature enabled, but many smartphone manufacturers set their sites and services as home (as in my example).
We only need to change the address of the preinstalled page to Yandex.ru.
Setting Yandex as a home page in Yandex browser
It seems that for users of Yandex Browser there should not be a problem in setting the main page of the search engine of the same name as the start page - alas, this is not the case.
After, you might find that the concept of "Start Page" is missing in the browser settings, so you can limit yourself to changing the default search engine, or partially solve the problem using simple steps.
1. Open the Ya.Browser settings and find the "Open at startup" section.
2. Change the preset settings as shown in the screenshot.
When you finish working with the browser, close all active tabs and the next time you open the Yandex.ru main page.
Setting up the home page in the Opera browser
Changing the start page on Yandex, in Opera, will not require more effort from you than in the case of other Internet browsers.
1. Open the Opera settings, "General" section.
2. In the "At startup" tab, select the "Open a specific page or multiple pages" checkbox and click "Set Pages".
Do not include many pages in the list - this can lead to a short "hanging" of the operating system when opening Opera, with poor performance of your computer.
You do not need to save anything, the changes you made will take effect immediately after you restart the browser.
Unfortunately, the mobile version of Opera (we are talking about version 44.11) does not have the ability to customize the home page. Users have to be content with news provided by software developers and a list of recently visited sites.
How to make Yandex homepage in Microsoft Edge
The most massive, but not the most popular program for Internet surfing is Microsoft Edge. Programmers from Microsoft took care of their users and made setting up Yandex as a start page available in a few mouse clicks.
1. Open the Edge browser and go to Settings.
2. In the tab indicated in the picture, select the "Specific page or pages" item. In the field below, enter the url address of the search engine - https://www.yandex.ru, and click on the floppy disk icon to save the changes.
The changes made will not work on the bundled Internet Explorer, but they are performed in the same way.
Install Yandex as the start page automatically
Yandex is directly interested in popularizing its products and that is why it has developed a special extension for browsers that automatically sets the main Yandex home page.
The extension is available at https://home.yandex.ru/ and is available for installation in the following browsers:
- Google Chrome and others, based on the Chromium engine;
- mozilla firefox.
If the "web" browser is not supported, the page will display an alternative manual installation method.
There are no analogues of the extension for mobile devices.
Possible problems
Right-click on the browser icon and select "Properties", go to the "Shortcut" section and delete all unnecessary inscriptions without touching the direct path to the file.
This action will help temporarily solve the problem, since the virus may replace the start page again at the next system start. To remove it, follow the link mentioned at the beginning of the article.
Conclusion
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in changing the start page in the browser. The developers took care of the availability of this function in a few clicks, and Yandex itself allows this operation to be carried out automatically.
The procedure described by me is relevant for the following versions of browsers and does not depend on the installed version of windows:
- Mozilla FireFox - 54.0 and above;
- Google Chrome - 63.00 and above;
- Yandex browser 17.00 and above;

If you have long wanted to facilitate and speed up the search process for the Yandex home page and make it the start page of your browser, then this article is for you! What is the simplification of working with a search engine if it is set as a "start page"?
When you open your browser, the search agent page automatically opens, saving you time and effort. Knowing how to set a web page as your home page is very helpful.
After all, you can not waste too much time and immediately open the page of interest in the browser. It is quite easy to make this setting, but some novice Internet users may not know how it is done.
Two main rivals - Yandex and Google
Now we can distinguish 2 main search services - these are Yandex and Google . Among the Russian-speaking population, of course, Yandex search engine is the leader and there are many reasons for this leadership. Yandex differs from its competitor in a number of advantages:
- High information content. From the start page, you can immediately go to all search engine services: news, poster, weather, mail, etc. It can even be customized to your liking thanks to additional widgets and modules.
- High quality information delivery.
- Nice appearance, which can also be customized to your preferences thanks to Yandex themes, which are constantly updated.
The easiest way to install Yandex.ru start page is is to use special application, which is offered by Yandex. You can install this application at the link http://home.yandex.ru/. Thanks to this application, Yandex will automatically be installed as the main page in all browsers. No additional manual settings are required in this case. If this application did not work or you simply do not want to download an additional program, then you can manually make settings in each browser.
Manual Yandex settings in various browsers
The steps for installing the main page are almost identical for all browsers, but, nevertheless, each browser has small features for pinning the start page. We will take a closer look at how to make Yandex the home page for key browsers:
- Mozilla Firefox;
- Opera;
- Google Chrome;
- Internet Explorer;
- Yandex Browser;
- safari.
The most popular and convenient browsers according to Internet users
Yandex home page in Mozilla Firefox
The first browser to consider is Mozilla Firefox, which is the leader among Russian users.
To set the home page, go to the settings menu in the upper right corner, or you can simply type “about:preferences” in the address bar of your browser.
In this section, in the line "Home Page" or "Home Page" indicate the address of the start page, namely http://www.yandex.ru/, and click the "OK" button.
A nice feature of modern browsers is the lack of significance of the case value, that is, the browser will not care whether you write the site address in large or small letters.
Yandex start page in Opera
As mentioned earlier, the settings in all browsers are very similar, so setting up the home page in Opera will be almost the same as in Mozilla.
To do this, open the menu in the browser and select the “Settings” section.
The latest versions of browsers are very similar, respectively, and the settings of many parameters are also the same, including the home page setting.
Then we press the "Set Pages" button and in the window that appears in the "Add a new page" line, specify the address http://www.yandex.ru/.
You can add multiple pages to the list at once, so multiple tabs will open when you start your browser.
If, at the time of installing the start page, the Yandex page is open in your browser, then you can not manually enter the address, but just click the "Use current pages" button and the Yandex address will be displayed automatically.
After all the steps, click the "OK" button.
Homepage in Google Chrome
Installing a quick access page in Google Chrome is as simple as in previous versions.
To do this, in the “Menu” of the browser (a button in the form of 3 horizontal lines in the upper left corner), select the “Settings” item.
In older versions of Google Chrome, the "Menu" section may also be located in the right corner of the browser.
The "Settings" section of Google Chrome is very similar to the same section in the Opera browser. Is not it?)
A tab has opened where you need to enter the address of the home page, in our case this is the Yandex address. We agree with our introduced changes and click "OK".
As in previous browsers, you can simplify the task and click the "Use current pages" button if the search engine page is already open in the browser.
Yandex homepage in Internet Explorer
Now there are a lot of versions of this browser that are installed on computers or laptops, so consider installing the Yandex home page on the latest versions of Internet Explorer - 10 and 11. If you have an earlier version of this browser installed, then the installation process will be similar to the algorithm below and it will not be difficult for you to independently install Yandex as the start page on your browser.
Four simple steps to set the home page for Internet Explorer:
- You need to open the browser settings menu (top right);
- Select the "Internet Options" tab;
- In the "General" section, find the "Home Page" item and enter the address http://www.yandex.ru/ in the empty line.
- In the "Startup" section, check the box on the line "Start from the home page" and click "OK".
Main page YANDEX In Yandex browser
The appearance of the Yandex browser is similar to the interface of Google Chrome, but there are some differences when setting the home page.
Home page pin scheme:
- Open browser settings.
The "Settings" section is presented as a gear icon at the top of the page
- In the context menu, select the "Settings" tab.
This browser does not have the ability to pin the start page. Perhaps this was done with the aim that all users of this program use the Yandex search service exclusively.
This item says that when the browser is reopened, tabs restored from the last session will be opened, but it is proposed to mark the sub-item “ Open www.yandex.ru if there are no tabs". That is, if you closed all the tabs before closing the program, then the next time you start the browser, the Yandex page will open.
Yandex start page in Safari.
Safari is a young browser developed by Apple for its proprietary hardware. All modern users of iPhones and MacBooks know about this simple and convenient browser. Setting up a homepage in Safari takes just three simple steps:
- In the upper right corner, click on the gear icon and go to the "Settings" section;
- Next, select the "Basic" item;
- In the "Home Page" window, enter the address of the Yandex search engine.
What to do if the start page is not installed on the browser?
Rarely, but there are situations when, even after following all the instructions, it is not possible to set the start page through the browser settings in manual mode. What to do in this case? There are several suggestions:
- Try downloading the app http://home.yandex.ru/, which was mentioned at the very beginning of our article, and try to automatically make changes to the browser. Just remember that the start page will change in ALL installed browsers on your computer.
- Clean up your computer using an antivirus and try again to set Yandex as your home page.
- And finally, if all methods do not help to achieve the desired result, contact support your operating system. Describe your actions in detail, indicate any errors that occur, and add screenshots of your actions to your message.
The start page in the browser is that tab, page or site on the Internet that opens first when you open your browser each time you start it, or when you press the Home button.
Do you have a desire or need to work specifically with the Yandex search engine? The start page, which can be installed by a user of absolutely any level, will always open first when loading the browser program.
To achieve this, you can use one of the following methods. Installing and securing Yandex as a homepage is quite easy, and in this article we will consider in detail the options for how to do this.
It all depends on which browser you use, because the applications and settings algorithms for each program are different. But I wonder why there is no start page at all in the Yandex Browser itself?
The most universal and easiest way is to type "www.ya.ru" in the address bar of your browser and wait for the web resource to load. In the upper left corner you can see the inscription "Make start".
Click on it and you're done. From this moment on, you begin your work with the site " www.yandex.ru"Or, to put it more simply, with the Yandex search engine.
