How can I make the 'New Tab' page (with the tiles showing the most frequent sites I visit) my home screen? I would basically like to double click firefox and have it with just the search bar and the most frequent sites I visit. Now, I normally open firefox and immediately click the 'new tab' then close original home page, then pick the site I want to go to. I didn't know if it was possible to do what I want or not. Thanks

It's easier than you might imagine... you just need to know that the "address" of the new tab page is about:newtab and then you can enter that onto the Options page as your home page address.

Note: there's no http or slashes anywhere, it's just about:newtab

For more on using that section of the Options page, please see this article: Startup, home page, tabs, and download settings.

Success?
