set browser as my website as homepage for firefox using javascript
How can I set default homepage in FF and Chrome via javascript?

I knew how to set homepage from a website in Internet Explorer using JavaScript; however, due to a security issue I can't do it in Mozilla.

Is there a way to set it in Mozilla using JavaScript?

    I do not want your app to set my homepage. I have set my homepage(s) myself. If I want your website as my homepage, I will add it myself. If you reset my homepage without asking, your app and website will immediately be added to my 'intrusive - do not use' list. If your app asks me if I want to change my homepage, it will be added to my 'annoying - do not use' list. – Eight-Bit Guru Jul 19 '10 at 12:39

Ask politelly to the user to do it.

If the user consider it's worthy he/she will.

    Or … don't. If the user wants to set it as their homepage, they can do it (hopefully). Even polite requests come off sounding as needy begging for traffic. – Quentin Jul 19 '10 at 12:35
