UsableHomeButton

UsableHomeButton is the Firefox extension to make “Home” button usable by linking it to home (main) page of current site instead of abstract conventional “home” page since latter is useless in most cases.

By using context menu of the improved “Home” button, it is possible to go to a parent URL as well as to remove current page or site from browser history, and to open regular browser “home” (start) page.

Features

• Click on “Home” button of browser (or pressing Alt+Home keyboard shortcut) opens home page of a currently opened site.
• Context menu is added to “Home” button. The menu can be opened with right click and includes:
  • list of hierarchical parts of URL-address of current page with ability to go to any of corresponding parent pages;
  • “Forget about the page” item that removes current page from browser history (analog of “Delete This Page” command of context menu of a link in results of search in History in “Library” window);
  • “Forget about the site” item (analog of “Forget About This Site” command of context menu of a link in results of search in History in “Library” window):
    • removes all pages of current site from browser history;
    • removes cookie files related to the site,
    • resets specific font-size for current site.
  • “Browser start-page” item that opens regular home (start) page of browser.

Download

The UsableHomeButton extension is available to download on its page on Addons.Mozilla.Org.
