How can I set homepage to one of hotmail and other as google?
I have just switched from IE to Firefox. I used to open with google.co.uk on first page then hotmail on a second and then each time I clicked for a new page it defaulted to google. I am not a techie but can anyone advise if this can be done in Firefox please?

Hi Diego Victor, thanks for the very quick response. Sorry I am delayed getting back to you. This made setting home page was easy. I can see from cor-els reply how to make a new tab have the sites I want so am trying that for now but still cannot work out how to make a new tab actually go go www.google.co.uk. I could not get there from Victors reply. I went to about:config but it said this could invalidate my warranty so nervous of that. Sorry if it is just me being a bit stupid but find technical stuff hard - just ask my boss as I work in IT!!
You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue See:
As long as you follow the instructions and only change the value of the browser.newtab.url pref to http://www.google.co.uk/ then there is nothing to worry about.
That warning is a bit of a joke: there is no warranty!
Anyway, I suggest making your new tab URL an HTTPS URL, since Google is going to switch you to the secure connection anyway and that will save however many milliseconds that adds:
