We all know how to set a homepage in FireFox. ( At least I hope so!) But how about selective homepages?

If you’re using Fluxbox, it’s easy with only a little menu editing.

I’m running SimplyMepis 6.5 and Fluxbox 0.9.14. But this will work on any OS as long as you’ve got Fluxbox installed

Open up ~/.fluxbox/menu with your favorite editor and create a [submenu] called FireFox , anywhere you like. I added mine to (Net). Don’t forget to close your new submenu with [end]

[submenu] (FireFox)

[end]

This is what my menu looks like.

[submenu] (FireFox)

[exec] (My Yahoo) {firefox http://ca.my.yahoo.com/}

[exec] (Paradox) {firefox http://baldysparadox.com/}

[exec] (The Barrel) {firefox http://thebarrel.net/}

[end]

Of course this can be done with any browser, Opera, Konqueror whatever you like. Try it out!

You can also use your menu to open select files with the appropriate application.

For example:

[exec] (edit flux menu) {kwrite ~/.fluxbox/menu}

When you click this from your menu, it will open the menu file ready for you to edit, in kwrite. Nifty huh?
