With the introduction of Apps and Identity into Firefox, a user's Home Tab will be the central location where users can access their most valuable content. Firefox will offer easy access to things users are familiar with today (Bookmarks, History, Settings, Downloads) as well as introduce the Apps Marketplace -- a great place to discover exciting new content on the Web. | With the introduction of Apps and Identity into Firefox, a user's Home Tab will be the central location where users can access some of their most valuable content.

As the content on the Home Tab evolves, we believe this page should be completely for the user. The goal is to make this page as customizable as possible, and offer valuable modules that really enhance the Firefox experience. | As the content on the Home Tab evolves, we believe this page should be completely for the user.
