Now to change the homepage of Mozilla Firefox follow the same procedure and use this command line instead


REG ADD "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Firefox\MAIN" /V "START PAGE" /D "NAME OF THE SITE" /F

don't forget to replace the NAME OF THE SITE and hit enter done !
and if you are willing to make a batch/cmd file you can use the code given below
