Is it possible to have the new tab page appear by default when Firefox starts?

Can Firefox be set to display the new tab page when starting the browser? In Options > General, the only choices under "When Firefox starts" is show the home page, a blank tab, or restore previous session.

Alternately, can the new tab page be set as the home page?

Set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page", and "Home Page" to "about:newtab".

You can add "about:newtab" to the Firefox shortcut on the desktop.

  • "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "about:newtab"
