Currently I can get Tiles view (with most frequently used links) only when new tab is opened. I would like to get Tiles view when Firefox is started, on its first tab. Is it possible to get Tiles view on the very first page when Firefox is started? Thanks!

You can set the home page (startup page) to about:newtab to open this page.

Note that Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
