Do you mean the new tab (+) button?

Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.

  • "3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
  • if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
  • if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default toolbar setup

In Settings>General, you can set your home page and what pages display when Firefox starts. Tell Firefox to show your home page when it starts, and enter your webpages into the home page area.

To open multiple tabs, separate the websites with |

The new tab with the tiles is about:newtab. To get your homepage and the new tab page, put this into your homepage setting:

thank you I get it now. But silly question, where is the pipe sysmbol on the key board?

The pipe symbol (|) is usually located as the Shift variant of the forward slash (\) above the Enter key. On British keyboards it can be at the left.
