Can you change the blank page in Firefox to display an image?

Doing some rearranging today.

What blank page? The home page?

you know, when you set your new tabs to open a blank page. can you edit that blank page?

Should imagine a bit of changing the XUL code will achieve that.

A whole lot of ballache just for a pretty picture that'll be quickly replaced by a webpage though.

Parallaxis wants to replace that blank page with a screenshot of a real page so that he can simulate work.

Help him - don't mock him

Unless he's at my company. Then he's fired.

You know what's funny it that I've been going through various themes over in the add-on section and they all seem to have screenshots of the blank page replace with an image. It looks pretty cool. But none of the theme downloads actually do it.

I was hoping the blank page was just an editable html page on my machine.

Hey there's an idea! Can I create my own html page, save it on my C Drive, and have the "homepage" open that ?

^Yup, but that'd only work when you open a new window, not a new tab.

I have fast dial configured so that the blank page displays my fast dial bookmarks. Of course, there's still a split second when it's blank while fast dial loads...
