In Firefox, how can I add a specific page to the 'New Tab' page?

Question

In the Firefox 13, Mozilla added the new tabs homepage.

The New Tab page now opens whenever you click on the '+' sign, allowing you to see thumbnails of your most recently and frequently visited sites. You can customize the New Tab page by adding or removing thumbnails based on where you go most.

Is there a way to add specific pages to this tabs page? Currently I'm removing tabs as they appear and it would be better if I could add the specific ones I want.

Answer 1

To do this you have to make your specific site to bookmark and then drag that bookmark from library to the New Tab page on a thumbnail. You can also pin tabs in the order you want them to appear.

Mozilla support have a page where they tell you how to do it.

Answer 2

what you need is to type about:config in the url and press enter

then click I promise I'll be careful

next in the search bar that appears type browser and press enter

next with the page down locate the browser.newtab.url

once on it press enter and replace about:blank with eg http://www.google.co.uk

from then on every time you press the + you get that web page.

enjoy
