Another Google personalized page.
I have my Gmail inbox, my Google calendar, the date and time, weather for Santa Rosa, NYT headlines, Wired News, Slashdot, and my To-Do list.
I have mine set to http://refdesk.com/ , which has links to just about everything interesting and useful.
The problem is that I never look at it.
Firefox start page, “A fast Google-powered search engine” I think is how they describe it. Every other browser I use, I set to Google.
Google.
A spin-off question would be “When you log on, whenever you log on, what are the pages you check first?”
For me, that would be FoxNews, my Hotmail account, then the Dope.
Google.
I have the same home page I’ve had for many many years: Excite. It has served me well.
Another about:blank person here.
Some years ago, one of my daughter’s friends was over, used the computer, and set the home page to somthing else (???!!!). When I took him to task over it, he explained that he thought we were not computer-savvy and so did not know that it could be changed. :dubious:.
I start with Yahoo Mail (as mentioned), then I look at all of my friend’s blogs/journals, then I look at the Dope, then I look at that day’s bookmarks.
Lemme 'splain that last part: as has been mentioned in this thread already, Firefox will let you specify a bunch of bookmarks to open simultaneously (in their own tabs). I have certain sites that I check every day, but the exact list changes depending on the day – e.g., some comics are only updated MWF, some columns are only updated once a week, etc. So when I’m done with e-mail, blogs, and the Dope, I look at that day’s list.
There are plenty of other sites I check regularly, but those are the ones I go to first and every day. 
my bookmark page. I haven’t used the bookmark feature of any web browser in years, preferring instead to put all my frequently-visited web hangouts on a page easily accessible from anywhere, in particular the browsers on public computers and other machines I would rather not clutter up with my personal configuration files.
What is the name of the extension, please?
I have a multi-tabbed home page in Firefox–the SDMB, Readerville, my livejournal, Yahoo, and my bank’s home page.
A custom page. Netscape keeps its bookmarks in one file (unlike my usual browser, Internet Explorer). Whenever I like a site enough to want to keep a record of it, I open it in Netscape instead, and add the site to my list of favorites. Then I copy that page onto my home user files, and propagate that change to any of my work computers. From there, iFolder propagates the change to my other work computers.
It’s baseball season, so I check my mail accounts, CBSsportsline MLB page and the Dope in no set order.

The site I manage as part of my job. It’s always reassuring to know it’s still up.
I don’t have a home page. My browsers are all set up to only open a window after I select something from bookmarks or do a Command-L and type in an URL
Google. And it drives me crazy to use a computer that’s not set to have it as a homepage. I’m just so used to clicking on “home” to search.
My livejournal base page.
Which I have customised so that it has, in its sidebar, links to all the webcomics I read (and the ones I don’t read anymore, because I can’t be bothered taking the links out and I might want them again someday), all the forums I read or have read (including the SDMB) coded so that clicking those links opens new windows, and a miscellaneous collection of blogs, sites, and other things that I have, at one time or another, wanted to look at regularly or needed access to regularly.
A customized My Yahoo page. I get news headlines from various sources. I usually like to read news, not search, when I first open my browser. I have the Google toolbar if I do need to look for something.
