Make Facebook my homepage in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, or Opera

As you start to using Facebook increasingly often, you will probably want to set your browser's homepage to Facebook.com, the landing page that shows your profile and account information when you are logged in (if you are logged out, it shows Facebook sign in, without any details - just login form and sign up form). Changing your homepage to Facebook is not only easy, but means that Facebook will automatically load whenever you open your web browser, but will also be accessible with a single keyboard shortcut, which we'll show you for five browsers on Windows or Mac.

• Before we start, open Facebook's homepage in a new browser window or tab: www.facebook.com…

• Which browser are you using with Facebook?
• Make Facebook my homepage in Internet Explorer
• Make Facebook my homepage in Firefox
• Make Facebook my homepage in Google Chrome
• Make Facebook my homepage in Safari
• Make Facebook my homepage in Opera

• Click on the "Home" dropdown, as shown on the screenshot
