I am tired of the default homepage when I boot up. I was wondering what everyone uses for a homepage and hopefully I will find something that I like, I am tech-savvy and love tech news, etc. Looking for something that I will want to see when I pop up firefox. Thanks in advance.

(waits) :popcorn:

about:blank "opens" when I start Firefox, but Google is my homepage (for fast alt+home access to the search engine).
I don't close firefox, so a homepage is otherwise useless to me.

iGoogle kicks, it's also what I use.

Fast Dial is good too (the Firefox extension)

I use slashdot, but then maybe I'm biased, as I have a 5 digit user id.

I just installed the BBC News search engine in the top right :p



I just use google.com

I use google too - I used to use a blank tab but it's impossible to tell if the internet is working with a blank page

I use my Web site. Of course, normally I have five to fifteen tabs open that get saved whenever I close Firefox, so that doesn't really matter.
