Unlike Google Chrome where the list of frequently visited websites is read-only, About:Tab for Firefox lets you re-order as well as remove websites from the list. For this reason, they have just released a new about:tab add-on (xpi) that brings Chrome like features the the Firefox start page.Ībout:Tab shows a list of “frequently visited sites” and the “most recently closed tab” but you don’t see image thumbnails in the default view - you can however click the “star” icon and see Website screenshots on the start page just like Chrome or Opera.


The start page of Firefox 3.0 is currently blank but Mozilla is working to add some Chrome like flavor to the upcoming Firefox 3.1 release. It includes a list of most frequently visited websites as well as a list of recently closed tabs - very handy when you reopen an accidentally closed website tab.

This screenshot illustrates the default start page of Chrome that is displayed when you open a new tab inside the Google browser.
