I, too, load a blank page. I use the bookmarks bar in Firefox so that all my most-frequently used links are front and center.

You get the picture.

It lacks any kind of dashboard style functionality, but I can quickly go to my most frequent haunts, and I can start to type anything else I need.

All this talk of bookmarks... One thing I really like in Fire Fox is I can press Ctrl+B and bring up my bookmarks on the left side. Not only that, but it has a search bar for my bookmarks. I have so many bookmarks, a lot of technical pages and video game mods and schematics and so on. It would take me FOREVER to find something I bookmarked. Being able to Ctrl+B and search, I can find what I'm looking for in seconds. I love it.

Firefox start page with the logo, and collapseable toolbar with my sites.
I use my phone for most browsing and it's learned which sites I use, then when I get home if I have more than a bit to say I use my computer.

Google.

I rely on typing my favorites in new tabs since I am on four different pcs on any given day. And atleast one is shared so no syncing.

I have Wikipedia, because it's convenient to hit the Home button and have a reference source for something like a fast game title lookup not far away. (great to see what ports a game has)

I used to use iGoogle as my home page long ago. I haven't thought of that site in years. Now I just start on a blank page. Chrome and firefox both allow me to google search from a bar near the top of the screen, so I don't even need to set google.com as my homepage.

Just Google. I suppose my email account or my website would be more useful, perhaps I should change it.

I use Chrome as my browser with the "Speed Dial 2" extension for my new tab page. I wouldn't waste browser startup time and memory with loading a bunch of tabs every time I wanted to load the browser up. Chrome is quite liberal with memory usage, and my system needs to perform, not get bogged down with unimportant things like e-mail.
