Hello,

this may sound like an incredibly stupid question, but how do I set
the Jumpstart page as my current home page? And before I forget it:
Thanks for the great extension. I have to admit that I really missed
Chrome's new tab page on Firefox.

Best regards!

Hi Matrus,
It's not a stupid question at all. You can set it to be your homepage
by changing your homepage to: chrome://jumpstart/content/tabView.xul
However you should be getting JumpStart page when you open a new tab,
click on status bar icon, or press Ctrl+Alt+L
But you want to have it when you click on your homepage button right?

Cheers,
Mihailo

Hi,

thanks for the swift answer. Yes, my wish was indeed for Jumpstart
page to appear when clicking the home button. I do not have a single
"home page" but I do visit several sites frequently so the Jumpstart
page serves as a starting point for my ventures into into the
Internet. It's more comfortable and familiar to me just using the home
button for that purpose so that I do not have to add additional visual
complexity to the tool bar (new buttons) or try to hit a comparatively
small area in the status bar to achieve the same effect.

Maybe it would be worth considering adding an additional option to
Jumpstart. Chrome solves the problem by simply adding another option
to their homepage configuration so that it does not affect any custom
homepages should the user decide to switch back and forth but I do not
know how difficult it is to add an additional button to the Firefox
configuration panel.

Best regards,
Matrus

Well that doesn't seem like a bad idea.
I've added it as a feature request, you can follow it here:
