var {classes:Cc,interfaces:Ci,utils:Cu} = Components;
var newTabURL = "http://localhost:8080";
aboutNewTabService = Cc["@mozilla.org/browser/aboutnewtab-service;1"].getService(Ci.nsIAboutNewTabService);
aboutNewTabService.newTabURL = newTabURL;
```
Replace the "localhost" line in `autoconfig.cfg` with your URL.
Also you can set the homepage via your normal settings.
Alternatively you can use a extentions called [New Tab override](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/).
## Chrome
Maybe [this](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/custom-new-tab-url/mmjbdbjnoablegbkcklggeknkfcjkjia) extention. Not tested yet.
