how-to-make-msn-my-homepage-on-firefox

To make MSN your homepage on Firefox, you can use the browser's settings menu or the Home button on the toolbar. Both methods are quick and reliable, ensuring MSN loads automatically every time you open Firefox.

Set MSN as your homepage via Firefox settings

The primary method to make MSN your homepage on Firefox is through the Settings menu. This approach gives you full control over what appears when you open a new window or launch the browser.

  1. Open Firefox and click the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the upper-right corner of the window.
  2. Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the Settings menu, click on the "Home" panel in the left sidebar.
  4. Under the "New Windows and Tabs" section, locate the "Homepage and new windows" dropdown menu.
  5. Select "Custom URLs..." from the dropdown menu.
  6. In the text field that appears, type the MSN website address.
  7. Alternatively, if you already have the MSN website open in a tab, you can click "Use Current Pages" after selecting "Custom URLs..." to set it as your homepage instantly.

Once you complete these steps, Firefox will use MSN as your homepage whenever you open a new window or start the browser.

Set MSN as your homepage with the home button

Another method to make MSN your homepage on Firefox involves using the Home button on the toolbar. This approach is useful if you prefer a visual button to return to your homepage with a single click.

  1. Right-click any empty area of the toolbar above the address bar.
  2. Select "Customize Toolbar" from the context menu.
  3. In the customization panel, locate the "Home" icon.
  4. Drag the "Home" icon to your toolbar and drop it where you want it to appear.
  5. Click "Done" to save the toolbar change.
  6. In the settings that open, set the homepage destination to the MSN website.

With the Home button added, you can return to MSN instantly whenever you click it, even if you have navigated to other pages.

Set multiple homepages including MSN

If you want MSN to open alongside other pages every time you start Firefox, you can set multiple homepages. This is useful if you regularly check several sites, such as email or news, and want them all ready immediately.

  1. Open each page you want as a homepage in separate tabs, including the MSN website.
  2. Click the menu button and select "Settings."
  3. Go to the "Home" panel in the left sidebar.
  4. Under "Homepage and new windows," select "Custom URLs..." from the dropdown.
  5. Click "Use Current Pages" to automatically add all open tabs as homepages.
  6. Alternatively, you can manually enter the URLs separated by a pipe symbol (`|`) in the text field, for example: https://www.msn.com|https://www.example.com.

This technique works the same way in any other browser, though the settings location differs. If you are customising the Chrome homepage and shortcuts, you would use Chrome's own settings panel instead of Firefox's Home panel.

After saving, Firefox will open all specified pages simultaneously each time you start the browser, with MSN appearing alongside your other chosen sites.
