geek_easynetAugust 26, 2008, 11:54 pm#5
BTW They all open as tabs on the home page
geek_seriouslycgiAugust 26, 2008, 11:57 pm#6
About:blank loads faster
geek_crowbarredAugust 27, 2008, 12:01 am#7
Google fast
geek_oclafAugust 27, 2008, 12:01 am#8
Always been about:blank simply cause i hate sites stealing my cursor when they load. who needs the google home page when ff has a google search built in anyway
geek_hellfxAugust 27, 2008, 12:02 am#9

geek_blenheim-traderAugust 27, 2008, 1:20 am#11

geek_sandra7163August 27, 2008, 7:38 am#16
Nzcity with google as my search tool
geek_wogadopolousAugust 27, 2008, 7:50 am#17
?Mine always open blank, it's the quickest to load & no pissing about. Any other page or combo of pages is just a keystroke away from there.
geek_drcspyAugust 27, 2008, 8:10 am#18
I agree with this: "who needs the google home page when ff has a google search built in anyway" seems pretty dumb to have google as a 'home page'
geek_kevin16August 27, 2008, 8:30 am#19
I have a 'right click' option to search the highlighted term(s) through google and a search bar built in to ff,.. no requirement to actually 'go' to google,..
geek_tessalAugust 27, 2008, 8:45 am#20
Its understandable masses would be using GOOGLE as there choice of homepage. ?intitle:index of? mp3 metallica creeping copy/pasted into the search engine yield fruits surpassing even the mighty (public) torrent yielded results.
geek_kevin16August 27, 2008, 8:48 am#21
Morning tessal true as,.. goodness and google both start with G,..as in Geee! what a lot of good results!,..
geek_tessalAugust 27, 2008, 8:56 am#22
Morning kev bro word my brother..the hidden power of the almighty google engine..i bow down too..all results are pulled from front page extension. god bless m$ and there so solid frontpage security muahaha.
geek_tessalAugust 27, 2008, 9:00 am#23
Another Frontpage beauty inurl:(service | authors | administrators | users) ext:pwd "# -FrontPage-" copy/pasted into the google search engine yields a long list of user names and passwords for administrator to vulnerable site which is using front-page as their extension. But the bad part is the password is encrypted. Bummer, but you should think twice before turning into a criminal, but if you insist on becoming one, I only have this to say to you…”JOHN THE RIPPER”, go figure it out!
geek_tessalAugust 27, 2008, 9:05 am#24
So i guess there could possibly be a good reason too have google as a homepage.
geek_tessalAugust 27, 2008, 9:06 am#25
Slashdot.org is my homepage of choice.
geek_pcgeekAugust 27, 2008, 11:57 am#26
iGoogle - customised with local content.
geek_ntalkeAugust 27, 2008, 12:20 pm#27
NZ Herald along with 19 other speed dial pages in Opera 5.2
geek_icioufaAugust 27, 2008, 12:24 pm#28
What only 20 increased speed dial to 35 fits no problems...lol
geek_ntalkeAugust 27, 2008, 12:27 pm#29
I can live with 20 pages at the moment,don't want to wear my glasses
geek_icioufaAugust 27, 2008, 12:35 pm#30
Increase font size about:config/user prefs/minimum font size incresed to 20 ish...i sit 1 mtr from my monitor only where glasses for my up close jobs...
geek_icioufaAugust 27, 2008, 12:37 pm#31
I do have opera spell check to when & wear i use it depends on my engrish...lol
geek_jmpcwizAugust 27, 2008, 10:52 pm#32
About:blank is my favourite :D Other family members use stuff.co.nz for news as homepage. Once opened, normally open a few pages nice a fast, stuff, TM board, RSS feeds on TF and Mt Ruapehu, torrent sites.
geek_olackAugust 27, 2008, 10:57 pm#33
Http://tinyurl.com/27nybm The Hunger Site...cause I get to click 6 times and each time I click someone somewhere somehow gives some money for the 6 charities that I click on...and Xnet, becaue it is simple and it loads fast...and it has not got any porn on it.
geek_flewyAugust 27, 2008, 11:22 pm#34
Google and why , buugered if i know, as this is the first page I head to.
geek_jeffreyyanAugust 27, 2008, 11:53 pm#35
About:blank for me loads faster and a quick Ctrl+L gets to the firefox3 awesome bar.
geek_flewyAugust 28, 2008, 12:09 am#36
IMO i dont get loading nothing before loading something, That must be valuable milisecs u fellas are losing while we are going where we want first.!
geek_evoeaterAugust 28, 2008, 10:03 am#37
IGoogle has my rss feeds and such
geek_1clickawayAugust 28, 2008, 10:59 am#38
Mine Is Speed Dial It has nine different pre-programmed sites; Depending on what mood I am in; I just click which site first. :)
geek_icioufaAugust 28, 2008, 11:57 am#39
With both FF & opera you can increase the amount of speed dials they have, where's i.e when it comes to speed dials...lol
