Set a web browser homepage 8
When you open up the stock web browser on your webOS phone or TouchPad (including some third-party browsers like Advanced Browser) there is no way to set a home page that should load up at launch. Instead you are presented with either a tile-view of bookmarks or just an empty screen. While there is nothing in the app itself to set a homepage, you can get around this by using the Add Page to Launcher feature (for webOS Phones or the TouchPad) to create a launcher icon that will open up the browser to your preferred homepage. Then just use that icon to launch your browser in the future and ignore the stock app icon.
On webOS phones, you can even make that icon look nice using this tip. Unfortunately, the TouchPad does not allow you to do this.

Heck ya! I would love to give Flickr Mundo to my daughter for X-Mas!!! Thank you for setting up this give-away!
Hey Jax1111, I think you posted in the wrong area.
Just get Shortcut Launcher. You can set the icon to anything you want and even include login user and pwd data. Works on all devices with the enyo map upgrade. Version 2.0.0 is in the HP release review cycle now.
Seriously, you should update your tip to include this information about Shortcut Launcher!
my pre 3 doesn't let me use nice icons for launcher pages. Even though I can change the image, it doesn't size and center the icon correctly. Anyone else have this issue?
we can also try bookmarking app, Touch Surf for touchpad
If they do another browser update, would like to see an option to press and hold the back arrow for a couple of seconds and get a drop-down list of the last 6 or 8 previous pages that you have been to, like you can get on a PC browser. Hope they will add this feature.
can you show me the link to download dropbox for palm pre 3. (like the picture) thank alot!
