Hi Joan, ('Scuse the intrusion) I was checking my options for Firefox browser and under the GENERAL tab I have: under startup: Show my home page" under "home page" there are 3 options: use current page; use bookmark; restore to default. Which of those should be chosen? (I use gmail too & win XP) Thanks.

Max, you can make your homepage anything you want it to be. My Firefox opens up four pages when I bring it up, iGoogle, Google, Comcast (my ISP) and ABC News. Bring up the pages you want your Firefox to always open to, and choose them under current page. If you wanted to, one of those pages could be your gmail account page.
