How can I set default homepage in FF and Chrome via javascript?

I have a code that works only in IE anb I was looking for something similar in FF and Chrome to set user's default homepage through a link 'click here to make this site your default homepage', but so far I didn't find anything.

Does anyone know how to do this?

How do I set the default homepage in Chrome using group policy?

Open the Group Policy Management Console (gpmc. msc) and switch to editing any existing policy or creating a new one. Make sure the following folders appear in the Administrative Templates section of both User/Computer Configuration: Google Chrome and Google Chrome - Default Settings (users can override).

What you're asking for is generally considered very annoying page behavior and, therefore, isn't widely supported.

A better UX (User Experience) choice is to give a small set of "how-to" instructions on how the users can make your page their homepage in their respective browsers. Give the user the choice!
