c# - Programmatically set the default homepage for Mozilla Firefox? - Stack Overflow
Is there a way to better customize the default page(new tab)? I keep it minimal though and it works for me. Been a fan of this browser for more than 3 years now, it's great.
How do you want to customize it?

Is there really no way at all to replace the default homepage/new tab bloat thing with a proper old school custom URL home page like https://start.duckduckgo.com
Is there absolutely no hidden setting or extension or custom version or fork that can do that on Android?
I'm new to Firefox, so I'm probably just missing something really obvious! Any help appreciated
I don't know whether or not this is the proper place to ask this or not, but I'm looking to customize the start page (or the new tab page or whatever it's called). I don't know what people use. Do they create their own or is there a plugin that people find popular? Any help would be appreciated.

You can set practically any HTML document as a "start page", although some more advanced ones are full on browser extensions.
I personally use StartTree which you just configure and it outputs the HTML you want. I then host this page as a local web server so I can point my new tab/home page at it
How can I access and customize ALL my bookmarks in order to place some of my choice on the new tab /home page 4x8 tiles, on Windows? It automatically picks random links from my bookmarks and I didn't find the way to add some others that I actually want on there. No "+" button like on Brave.
I may be dumb but I'm sure that the way it is currently is not optimal.
What you will need to do is programmatically edit the prefs.js file in the user profile for Firefox.
It can be found in the directory C:\Users\ [USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ [Some Subfolder]
You will need to add or edit the line that looks like: user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "www.google.com");
I know question was answered but maybe next coders can be need a source.
string firefox = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), "Mozilla\\Firefox\\Profiles");
if (Directory.Exists(firefox))
{
FileInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(firefox).GetDirectories()[0].GetFiles("prefs.js")[0];
StreamReader sr = di.OpenText();
RichTextBox rb = new RichTextBox();
rb.Text = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
string[] s = rb.Lines;
for (int i = 0; i < rb.Lines.Length; i++)
{
if (rb.Lines[i].StartsWith("user_pref(\"browser.startup.homepage\""))
{
s[i] = "user_pref(\"browser.startup.homepage\", \"http:\\\\www.somesite.com\");";
break;
}
}
File.Delete(di.FullName);
File.WriteAllLines(di.FullName, s);
}
This will change firefox homepage. I hope I can helped someone
