How to Set Up Multiple Home Pages in Firefox

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Open your Mozilla Firefox browser.

   Wait for the browser to load in its entirety.
2. 2

   Step 2: Click the orange drop-down box from the extreme top-left corner of the browser window.

   The box should say "Firefox" with a down arrow. ,, The "Home Page" selection box is where you will specify which home pages you'll be opening at start-up point. , Be sure to include the http:// or the tabs won't display when the browser is reopened later. , Also called a 'pipe'. ,, Repeat the last few steps (http:// and the pipe character) until all the tabs you want as home pages are completely filled in.
   
   This will cause a lot of text to be written, but it's well worth it in the long run. , This will cause your home pages you typed into that box to load at first. ,, Close the browser and open the browser a moment later, to ensure the pages you'd like to open, are correct and are working links.
   
   No sense keeping a non-working page listed in your links.
   
   If not, go back to the settings and check your typing.
   
   If still no dice, the page has probably been taken down temporarily.
