Multiple home pages in rotation

[Chris Newman]

Hiya,
Mozilla is absolutely superb. Anyone think that having a feature
where you can select multiple home pages would be a good idea ? I'd
like Mozilla to rotate on a new browser through a list of home pages,
eg. news.com, oreillynet.com, mozilla.org, java.sun.com etc. etc.
rather than just always being stuck with one home page all the time.

:)

Not quite what you asked for, but it may be sufficient:
RFE: Ability to "snapshot" all TABs in a window as bookmark [bookmark 
groups], http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102130

Another possible solution that would work in most browsers is to write 
yourself a little HTML page and save it locally.  In the page have some 
  javascript that selects the 'home page' you want either randomly or 
based on the date/time.

If you wanted to be really fancy you could save the page in the chrome 
and use a cookie to keep track of the 'homepage' you last visited so 
that you always get the next page in the sequence.

Couldn't you just put a line of javascript in there to pick a random 
number between 1 and n and then depending on the number display a 
different page?

Bah, I'll just program it here...

javascript:a = Math.round(Math.random() * 3);if (a == 1) { 
document.location="http://www.mozillanews.org";} else if (a == 2) { 
document.location="http://mozilla.org";} else { 
document.location="http://www.mozillazine.org";}

Testing yeah it works.

Interesting. How would one go about putting such a script in one's Home 
location in Mozilla?

Just put the above lines in the location text field as one line.

Or write a page with the above code and set it as your home page. Then 
you can continue to add more URLs and use it with any browser.
