I haven't found any out-of-the-box option in Mozilla Firefox 4.0 that will allow you to do this. However, there are add-ons that you may want to try which will give you this functionality. Here is one and another.

Tab Mix Plus includes that feature (along with a lot of other features). I highly recommend it.

This feature is controlled by Events > New Tabs > Load on new tabs.

You can set your homepage to be a certain page, then set the FireFox options to open your home page on a new Tab.

I also believe FireFox has a Google-Chrome/Opera-like speed dial page.

Do you know where that option is? I'm using FF4. – grm Apr 26 '11 at 11:30

In about:config, change the browser.newtab.url value to the page you want to load.
