How to Change a Homepage to Firefox
The open-source Firefox web browser enjoys a strong reputation for customization. You can change almost any aspect of the browser using a combination of the "About:Config" options and the vast number of add-ons and themes available on the Mozilla website. Continuing the personalization trend, Firefox allows you to choose which website loads when you launch the browser -- and if you can't settle on a single home page, Firefox even gives you the option to open several websites at start up.

Tips & Warnings
You can also change home pages manually by entering their URLs in the "Home Page" field in the "General" options tab. Separate multiple URLs with a single vertical bar, with no extra spaces. The vertical bar appears as a straight line and is located above the "Enter" key on most QWERTY keyboards.
