Why does mozilla feel it necessary to not allow users to select a single hompage for android devices? Is mozilla becoming are do they want to become the next IBM, Microsoft, Apple, you name it, by forcing users to go your way or the highway? Setting a specific homepage has long been a standard for browsers so what does mozilla think it is accomplishing by forcing users to use one of your predetermined pages? The same thing has been a great pain since firefox has long disallowed users from setting a homepage for new tabs. Wasnt mozilla founded on open source principals and focusing on what users want, and not on what mozilla thinks users should have?

hello Mendskyz, it is currently not possible to set a custom homepage in firefox on android (this is a trade-off for technical reasons in order for the app to launch faster). however as a workaround you could create a bookmark for that page & add it to the homescreen of your phone - this will have the same effect when you launch firefox from that bookmark.

Add, delete and view bookmarked webpages in Firefox for Android
