Lets see. On my main machine:
TenFourFox: tab restore, but settings show that I had set it to about:mozilla
Camino: http://caminobrowser.org/start/ (default homepage)
lynx: default
links: no homepage
wannaBE: default
iCab 3: about:blank
Classilla: about:mozilla

Old tower:
Handpatched iceweasel 2 based browser I have lying aroud: about:mozilla
Konqueror: about:blank
lynx: default
elinks: no homepage

Server/tinkering machine:
Dillo: about:blank(If I remember correctly)
links: no homepage

Laptop(I don’t know what to call them in English but in Finnish they are called “Miniläppäri”. Very small often underpowered laptops for net surfing. mine is Asus EeePC 701SD. I haven’t used it in few years):
Firefox 2: http://www.google.com/firefox
lynx: default

My homepage is Yahoo! in Netscape Communicator 7.0.

Even the word “Homepage” sounds so arts and crafty! Homepages are for homeboys! about:blank-about:blank-about:blank is the way to surf.

:)

It depends…
– at least, Google. Just to make sure the Internets are working!
– at work, iGoogle, Gmail, and a few tabs with last visited sites.
– at home, last session, whatever it is. I tend not to run webapps in Firefox, and use Prism instead. Of course, it is kinda Firefox, but without the clutter of tabs, toolbars and the like.

I like to use “restore session” and also about:blank.

I like to use “restore session”. But my actually homepage, is my own website. I like to close all tabs after browsing so I also use about:blank.

/side story, I took my friends laptop once, and set his homepage to like 3 sets of meatspin and tubgirl… and then a lot of other random shock sites… so it would take him forever to close out of them all.

I typically just leave my firefox install with the firefox google homepage. I did play around with the extention for firefox that gives you a schedualed homepage, and such… but I just didn’t like it.

I personally just like working with just a few tabs… because how i browse I follow links of links and typically open them in new tabs… so by the time I am done going though a blog or wiki or something… I am at 50 open tabs anyway… I don’t need my other sites to add into that… if I am not viewing them they don’t need to be open.

I am not niave to how easy your life can be with tabs and an auto start lineup… but I just don’t have a need for it. I remember the sites I like.

For my main browser- Firefox – I just have a homepage set to iGoogle for a quick look at my recent e-mails, calendar, weather, and Flickr comments. Mostly I like it for the theme. For all other browsers, I use about:blank

I use iGoogle (in Firefox), in the secure connexion mode (due to the need of reading Google AdSense reports). It’s ok, but recently I happened to unwillingly use sessions a lot because Firefox and Hardy in general keep crashing on me (especially at the end of the day). I can’t get bothered to manually restart at the end of my work day, so I just push the off button and leave it like that. So of course I just restore the crashed session the day after.

I use firefox’s addon “session saver”, which means I never loose a tab, not even if firefox crashed.

every now and again I clean my open tabs, remove things I meant to read but never got a chance to, remove junk tabs like google searches from a couple of days ago, etc.

3 tabs which are usually open are: gmail, greader, and Yahoo mail.

the first bookmark on my “bookmark toolbar” is google, which I sometimes use as an “open new tab” with middle-click. never really liked the built-in search bar, don’t know why.

oh, and i don’t use iGoogle, I don’t like its design, but I may start using the new upcoming iGoogle…

(sorry for the little offtopic)
@Mats Rauhala:
You can disable the NetworkManager dbus messages (which tells firefox to go to offline mode)
Edit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf
Replace
<allow send_interface=”org.freedesktop.NetworkManager”/>
with
<deny send_interface=”org.freedesktop.NetworkManager”/>
There are three of them.
Save and reboot and its done :D
