I found an old thread/question about this, but it was outdated. It suggested https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/home-links/ and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/addon/back-home-269533/ but back home isn't compatible with the latest FF and home links doesn't do anything I want. Any addons that will do this? If not, can I get a pointer to a tutorial on adding something to the toolbar/url bar on FF Android?

Hi, When you open the new tab, it default is homepage only.

In Android HomePage are Top/ Pinned websites

  1. You can, just not natively (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/home-changer)
  2. That wasn't even my question. I want a home button. Where the back/forward/url/refresh/bookmark/... menu/show tabs button is like in desktop FF.

The concept of a home page does not exist in Firefox for Android.

OK, since I cannot seem to get an answer to "is there an addon" let me ask "can you point me to a tutorial on adding a button to the area with bookmark/refresh/triple dot menu or url bar using addons". I know I can add a button to the url bar because of the refresh in url addon (i think thats the name), but it would be preferred to have it in the toolbar.

Hi,

There isn't an add-on (from my searches) that you can get to do this since the necessary actions are already on the triple dot menu. If you wanted to do this, you would have to rip open Firefox, edit it and recompile it yourself. Maybe. Not even sure that will work.
