Have you ever had the need to have more than one homepage in Firefox? Firefox does in fact have this feature, although its a little unknown. This tutorial will teach you how to set more than one homepages in Firefox, and whenever you press the home button or open up Firefox both your homepages will open up.


Ok, what you need to do is go to your options to where you set your home page. This is located at Tools -> Options in Windows and Edit -> Preferences in Linux. At the top of the window you will see a section called “Start up” and a textbox to edit called “Home page”. This is where you set the address for your homepage. Now simply separate more than one homepage with the “|” key. So lets say I want Google and Facebook to be my home pages, it would look like this:

http://www.google.com|http://www.facebook.com/

Easy as that!

    IE7 has the same ability - but rather than using the pipe symbol “|” you just place each home page on a new line.

    Tools > Internet options > Home Page (Under the “General” tab)

    Glad I can do it in both the browsers I use - Thanks for the tip.
