Nice feature - been using it for a while. Surprised it never came up during
our study group. :) At work, I use it for all the internal sites we are
running and use daily or almost daily. I'm still puzzled when I see someone
using IE, especially when it's a fellow developer. If you install IE tab,
you can launch the inferior browser when you are on a broken site that only
uses ActiveX. I think I read somewhere commenting that if they had someone
coding (Java, in this case) in Notepad or vi, they'd have them fired. I
almost feel this strongly about developers (at least web developers) faffing
about with IE.

I think one of the extensions for Firefox even let you have more than one
set of homepages - but I forget the name, and I'm unable to dig it up. I did
find an entry in Lifehacker about multiple home pages, but it's talking
about what you are talking about...

Addons.mozilla.org returns a bunch of related extensions when I try "home
page", but I'm too lazy to read through them all to figure it out.
