◆ Start page

At the bottom of the start page, shortcut buttons for restoring downloads, bookmarks, history, addons, sync, options, and previous sessions were added.


The reason why the search bar is placed on the start page is that many users try to search from the home button without using the search bar in the upper right of the screen.

◆ New tab

The "New Tab" page lists recently opened pages and frequently visited sites.


The reason why the new tab was made blank page so far was to provide the user with a refreshing new "sheet". However, as there were no particular meaning in the actual blank page, considering offering something useful to the user rather than the blank page, we began to investigate how to use the user's tab, and as a result, the average Firefox user got daily We opened 11 new tabs, accessed 2 unique domains per tab, read 7 pages, turned out to read 2 pages before closing the tab or moving to another tab. Although the user has opened a new tab many times, since it was found that there is a high possibility of returning to a small number of sites from there, "Firefox 13" provides functions that allow quick access to frequently visited sites on a new tab It seems to be decided.

To fix the thumbnail of the site on the new tab, click "Pin this site at this position" at the upper left of the thumbnail.


To delete the thumbnail of the site, click "Delete this site" at the upper right of the thumbnail.


To move thumbnails, you can move thumbnails by dragging and dropping.



To hide the thumbnail of the site, click "Close new tab" in the upper right.


In this way, the thumbnail of the site is hidden. If you want to display it, it is OK if you click "Display new tab page" in the upper right.
