# How to set the new Tab
## Firefox

[Reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/startpages/comments/g3qndt/psa_how_to_set_a_custom_new_tab_page_in_firefox/)

Create 2 files inside of the firefox install directory. 

`${installDir}/defaults/pref/autoconfig.js`
```js
pref("general.config.filename", "autoconfig.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);
```

`${installDir}/autoconfig.cfg`
```
// first line is a comment
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.
