For Firefox 4+ and latest Firefox Beta, Aurora, and Nightly builds.

The replaces the "New Tab" button icon with the "Homepage" button icon making it look like the feature mockup of the Firefox 4 "Home Tab" Project which didn't make it into Firefox 4.

Directions for "New Tab" button Placement:
Right click any toolbar button, select "Customize...", then Drag/drop the "New Tab" button from the right-side of the tab bar to left-side.

How to make "New Tab" button load your "Homepage":
Use [Ext] New Tab Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
Or use [Ext] Tab Mix Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus

*** [Ext] Tab Mix Plus Options settings ***
Events -> New Tabs -> Load on new tabs -> Home Page
Display -> Tab Bar -> New tab button -> on Left side

Tested on Firefox 4+ and up to the latest Firefox Beta, Aurora, Nightly builds.
