Firefox - start up tabs

Default start up tabs


I stumbled across this today. I am sure a lot of you know this but it
may help some who don't. In Firefox if you go to Bookmarks/Manage
Bookmarks and create a new folder called Start Up and place it at the
top of the folders, it creates a new row of tabs at the top of the Web
page in which you can put your favourite sites in by placing them in the
Start Up folder. The sites open when Firefox first opens so you can have
your favourite sites ready and open at the start.

Once you have selected your sites you then need to go to
Options\General\Home Page and select Use Bookmark....

Also if you download the extension Tab browser preferences ver1.1.1 each
of the new tabs will open just by placing your mouse across the tab.

The only problem that I have found is that you can't rename the sites so
you are limited to about six. If anyone has a fix for this I would
appreciate it, although I suspect it has something to do with the
selection of Use Bookmark...

I don't know why they didn't make this standard as it is one of the best
features of Firefox.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Responded in another group that this isn't working for me.

If you had everything, where would you keep it?
