Part 2) Multiple homepages: This isn't really something I personally use, but I like that it's there. This is perfect for someone that checks the same sites every morning quickly, and doesn't really open and close the browser too frequently.

Let's say you grab your coffee and toast, and before you head out the door, you've got about fifteen minutes to check the latest news on DU, yahoo news (to see the mainstream take), your email account, and the local weather. Have the sites open automatically by making them your homepages. Go to tools>options>and 'Main' icon. Here, you will see your homepage entry box. In the box, copy and paste the address of the specific page you want to go to in each instance separated by a pipe '|'(the pipe usually sits above the '\' on the keyboard, often appearing as two vertical lines). To get to the end of the address if it doesn't appear, highlight and then move cursor to end you want to see.

Here, I set it up for DU latest news, yahoo news, local yahoo weather, and yahoo email (image shows addresses between the end of DU and beginning of yahoo news):



Personally, since I open and close the browser frequently, if I wanted that particular set of sites in the morning, I would just set up a bookmarks folder containing those websites and then hit 'Open all tabs'. But that's a total of three whole clicks and moving the mouse around as opposed to the one click solution! I'm just not a go-getter.

I know this, but I like the idea of you doing for other people. :)
