This option determines which page is displayed when Konqueror starts, the introduction page, your home page, a blank page or your bookmarks page.

This is the URL (e.g. a folder or a web page) where Konqueror in browser mode will jump to when the Home Page button in the toolbar is pressed. You can set a path that is your Home page by typing into the text field, or using the browse icon to select a local folder. Konqueror needs to be restarted for changes to take effect.

When Konqueror is used in file manager mode, the Home Page button in the toolbar is replaced by a Home Folder button which makes it jump to your local home folder instead.

Konqueror defaults to a single window per page, but has the capability to open multiple tabs inside a single window. Konqueror also, by default, has a middle mouse button shortcut to open any link in a new window. If you enable Open links in new tab instead of in new window you can middle mouse button click on a link to have it open in a new tab.

Whether or not JavaScript popups if allowed shall open in a new tab or in a new window.

When you click a URL in another KDE program or call kfmclient to open a URL, the current desktop will be searched for a non-minimized Konqueror and, if found, the URL opened as a new tab within it. Otherwise a new Konqueror window will be opened with the required URL.

If you are using tabbed browsing, you can choose if a newly opened tab becomes the active (“front”) tab, or goes to the back. On a slow Internet connection, or while browsing a page that has a list of headlines or other links in a list, you may like to have the new tabs load in the background while you continue reading. In this case, enable this setting. If you prefer to go straight to the new page, leaving the old one in the background to return to later, disable it.

This will open a new tab opened from a page after the current tab, instead of after the last tab.

This will display the tab bar only if there are two or more tabs. Otherwise it will always be displayed.

This will display close buttons inside each tab instead of websites' icons.

When you click on a tab using the middle mouse button or mouse wheel, it will close that tab. Konqueror needs to be restarted for changes to take effect.

If you close a window in Konqueror that has multiple tabs open, Konqueror will ask you if you're sure that you meant to close it. You can toggle on and off this behavior with this check box.

When checking this the previous used or opened tab will be activated when you close the current active tab instead of the one right to the current tab.
