How can I set my Memex dashboard as my homepage?

I’d like Memex to be my starting point on my browser.

e.g. instead of searching DuckDuckGo or Google for a keyword, I want to search my Memex first, which is likely to give me more relevant and higher quality results.

The current UX makes this a bit unwieldy — I’d have to drag my mouse to the worldbrain icon in my toolbar, click on it, and then enter my search term, vs. pressing CTRL-L, and then typing my search term to use DuckDuckGo.

If I had Memex as my default start page on Firefox, the search function would be a lot easier to access, plus I would have the added context of seeing all my previous history + my notes each time I start a browsing session.

I totally feel you here, I would also love to have Memex on the front here.

Problem is that this is a binary question here due to the limitations of the browser. It does not allow to give users the decision if an app should be the new tab-app. We have to roll it out to everyone in a very hard coded way. So we decided against it because many people want to use different apps to do this.

A feature that may solve some of your issues:
You can use memex quickly by typing “m” followed by “space” into the address bar.

You can also use the sidebar ribbon that pops up on the right side and click on the “search” icon and search there.
