Multiple homepages in Firefox

Written by

Ok so I might be behind the times here but I’ve just discovered that Firefox 3.0 supports the setting of more than one homepage. This will allow for multiple pages to be automatically opened when Firefox is started and when the Home button is pressed (although there does seem to be a slight glitch with that in that it takes the currently focused tab as the "first" tab for the first homepage). Like I say I might have missed a trick with this in the past but at least I’ve found it now! To enable multiple homepages to be set, use the pipe symbol "|" to separate your homepages within the Tools|Options|Main tab.

So for example you might want to have your homepages to be set to Psychotic Monkey and Google.co.uk and this would mean entering http://www.psychoticmonkey.co.uk/|http://www.google.co.uk/ in the homepage box on the settings screen.

Very useful indeed….
