Deeply hidden?  All you need to do is open Preferences, choose

Yes, hidden = FOUR steps/clicks ...not just one click if this button is

Too deeply? It's under "Preferences > Browser" Does one not expect to

where you not only set your home page, but you can set preferences for

Certainly more deeply than Chris solution, instead of 4 clicks .. It's 
just ONE drag:


Drag the tab (or favicon) to the home button.

In your opinion. In mine, it's exactly where it best fits, same as before SM 
got it's name, when it was Mozilla Suite, same as before Mozilla Suite 
existed, in its predecessor, Netscape 4.


In case you didn't notice, SM by default doesn't even have a home button on 
the main navbar. For many people, "home" isn't even relevant, much less 
important enough to have a button on the main navbar. Technically, Google is 
my "home" page, but since it's my default search engine, and since my search 
box is on the top toolbar, I don't need any home "page". The search box 
provides what I would otherwise use a home page for.


OTOH, SM actually has two "home" buttons by default, one on the bookmarks 
toolbar, and the other the throbber, the latter of which must be configured 
via browser.throbber.url in about:config if you don't like its default. Mine 
is set to google.com/shopping.

On the Browser pane of the Preferences window, there is a button Use
Current Page, which is enabled whenever the currently displayed Web page
does NOT have the same URI as listed in the "Clicking the Home button
..."  input area.


Exact ... but not easy to imagine that this button is there.
It would be perfect to have a "Put this your Home Page" button on the 
second toolbar.

It's a good idea, I'm just a stickler for being misquoted. Good luck in
promoting it.



Does it not already?

"Edit > Preferences > Browser"

Display on "Browser Startup > Home Page" click the "Use Current Page"
button.

Just a little more granularity where you can also set for New Window and
New Tab.


I think Ray's talking about an option available directly from a browser 
window. For example, we already have "Go | Home" and "Bookmarks | 
Bookmark This Page" on the menu.

Drag the tab (or favicon) to the home button.

Edit | Preferences | Browser | Display on [Browser startup]:

Clicking the Home button takes you to this group of pages:

If you also want Google to come up whenever you open a new page or
a new tab, pull down those options at the top of the dialog

done here.


You will also have to indicate what is your home page.  This is also
done on the Preferences pane for Browser.


In case it was unclear, the line, "Clicking the Home button takes you to 
this group of pages:" was not my comment, it was part of the SM dialog. 
That's where you specify your home page. If you view the dialog, you'll 
see what I mean.

Yes, that's what I meant by "enter the URL just as you've done here." 
The dialog is the same for "Browser startup," "New page," and "New tab."

2.open "Edit" -> "Preferences"
3.select Browser category
4.click button "Use Current Page"
5.select "Home page" radio button whilst "Display on" is set to "Browser 
Startup"
