Multiple Home Pages in Mozilla Firefox

This is a new trick I just found out. You can now specify multiple home pages in Mozilla Firefox. A home page is the site your browser visits when opened. The default home page for firefox is a nice and simple google search.

What if you have more than one pages that you’d like to open when firefox is launched? First, you need to open new tabs with webpages you’d like to set as the default home pages and go to Tools → Options.

Screen shot Firefox Options

Now you can see the buttons have changed from Use Current Page to Use Current Pages. Click on the Use Current Pages, and you will see the URLs you opened separated by pipe character.

You can also setup multiple home in Firefox without opening the pages by typing the URL manually. The correct format to setup Multiple Homepages is separate each URL with the pipe character. Example:

http://wpram.com/|http://example.com/|http://www.apple.com

You can also set multiple homepages by using the Use Bookmark.. button. Save the pages you want to set as homepage into a dedicated bookmark folder and use that folder as Home Pages.
