I have been using Firefox since 2008 when it is still Firefox 2.0 at that time. For those who have been used Firefox for a long time and get used to it, you should have feel the convenience that Firefox has brought. One of the reasons why Firefox is so powerful is its function of supporting all kinds of add-ons.
I use the homepage button a lot, but I need to click it with the roller of the mouse so that I can open a new tab as homage. Recently I am thinking is there a way to take use of the “New Tab” button to open a new homepage? By default, after you click “New Tab” button, Firefox will open a blank tab, or a speed dial page.
I have tried to search scripts for GreaseMonkey or Scriptish, but nothing is found. So I have to return to the add-ons. And there they are:
NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Tab Mix Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/
After you installed one of these add-ons to your Firefox, you can set your homepage there, like https://www.google.com/.
You can also set the homepage as the website you visit often, like PowerPoint E-learning Center for me. The homepage can be easily changed, just enter any website URL you like and set it as the homepage, so that a simple clicking on “New Tab” button will open the homepage.
Hope this little trick be helpful to you ^_^
