While there is no direct way currently to set a customized home page on Firefox for Android; you can still simulate the same thing: * Make sure that the page is in your history * Tap in the address bar * Search for the history item * Long press on the history item * Select "Add to home screen" * Use this bookmark shortcut on your Android home-screen to launch Firefox

Hi nectonblue:

I’m replying to you because you posted a question about setting a homepage in the last few months.

We’re testing a homepage feature in Firefox Nightly and we’d love to get your feedback before we release it to the public!

Here are a few questions we have for you, but please include any other feedback:

  1. Briefly describe what you expected the homepage in Firefox to be like.
  2. How does the homepage in Firefox compare to your expectations?
  3. Is anything missing from the ‘homepage in Firefox’ experience?
  4. Was it easy or difficult to set your homepage in Firefox?
  5. What is one thing you would change about the homepage in Firefox?

Ready to give it a try? Here’s how it works:

  1. First, allow third-party app installation on your Android. Go to your Android Settings and enable 'unknown sources' (usually under "Security").
  2. Download and install Firefox for Android Nightly at nightly.mozilla.org
  3. Open Firefox for Android Nightly, then in the menu, tap Settings -> Customize -> Home -> Set a Homepage
  4. Enter a homepage by either typing in a URL, or put a check mark next to ‘Use current tab’.
  5. Finally tap ‘OK’ to set your homepage.

You’ll will see your homepage every time you restart Firefox for Android Nightly.

Cheers!

...Roland
