New Tab King for Firefox offers a clever alternative - with boss mode!

Like other options, NTK taps into your recent usage to display frequently visited sites and recently closed tabs. You can toggle the display of your used sites to include either all browsing or only sites that are in your bookmarks. There's also a list of Windows shortcuts included for quick access to your My Documents folder, Notepad, Calculator, and Windows Media Player. You can also specify a custom background image.
And let's not forget about the boss mode button! Click it, and New Tab King automatically switches to a pre-defined display which includes sites like Harvard Business Publishing, Wall Street Journal, NASA, and the BBC ticker.
No, it won't destroy all traces of any questionable browsing you've been doing, but with boss mode on you can at least quickly shield your other tabs from prying eyes with control + t.
Edit: as noted by our commenters, this one is Windows only. The Firefox addon does state that, and while this post is tagged "windows" I didn't state that directly.

You would think they would let you know what OS works with it, it only makes sense.

You're not missing anything.
It's underwhelming at best.
