    Visit the website which you want to set a custom homepage for the Firefox browser. In my case, I want to set Google Search as Firefox Homepage.

    After that, you need to drag and drop the website tab on the Home icon available on the toolbar.

    Do you want your this document to be your new homepage?

    The dialog box with a message which reads “Do you want your this document to be your new homepage?” Click Yes to complete the process.
