<p>&gt; i have this, but the developer has not replied to my emails.. maybe taking a break... as I could not work out how to put the code in the button. I could not see any onOpen event handler to put the code. Then I did not know what code should go there to call "customise toolbar" menu option.
</p><p>if you know, I can start a new thread. If not, I'll leave it be.
many thx
</p>You're welcome.

<p>Thanks for link. Ive done that. Dragged the 3 tabs (so now pinned) to my home. There is no pretty picture, just words, so i hope I dont forget... what they are..... I

<p>&gt;Is there some logical reason why we cannot add new menu items?
(Given we seem to almost be able to do any other tweak in FFox.)
</p><p>&gt;I do have the Menu Editor Add-On, and even that you cannot add new items.
</p><p>&gt;There are so many in the list (tools context menu) I turned off. Would be even ok if I could dummy one of these to do what i want.
</p>
<hr>
<p>I think this is OK workaround for<strong> not able to add new menu items.</strong>
</p><p>&gt;Would be even better if I could put about:newtabs as a new menu item.
</p><p>&gt;I looked at could not see Home menu option under Tools in the add-on.
</p>
<hr>
<p><br>
anyways... thanks for great support as usual
</p>
<hr>
<p>ps:
I had to pop over to Opera as ffox doesnt have resume button on dl, and had to interact with their support. OMG... what an awful experience. I managed to get told off twice for posting poorly. Crikey... So I realised how very very spoilit we are having such a super duper support team at firefox.,

<hr>I personally set the home page to about:about (used about:blank in the past because of new windows) 2013-01-14T10:55:26-08:00cor-elhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/947074#answer-397767<p>I personally set the home page to about:about (used about:blank in the past because of new windows) as this page isn't intrusive and gives quick access to other build-in pages.
</p><p>See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

</li></ul>
<p>You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different slot to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.<br>
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a slot on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
</p><p>Changes manually made on the about:newtab page are stored in the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder under the pinnedLinks key and blockedLinks key (this will change to using prefs in Firefox 20).

<hr>
<p>now i have this screen that started appearing in the last year.. a new style home page.. but i have no idea.. how to use it...
see screenshot
</p>
<hr>
<p>&gt;so how do i get the 3 tabs you can see in the screenshot on this "gallery" home page
--
&gt;As this would work for me. As I would remember HOME is where all the techie stuff is....
&gt;Then i think i must use cor-el idea for "customise toolbars" as a menu item as the menu option is not a webpage like the about ones.
thanks

Then with Customize window, place the <strong>Home</strong> button where you want it on a toolbar.

You would need an extension that allows to run specific JavaScript code.

<p>You can consider to place them in a special folder that you position at the top in the Bookmarks Menu folder or add such a folder to the Bookmarks Toolbar folder to have them accessible via the Bookmarks Toolbar.
