iGoogle is going away. I'd like to set up a home page in Firefox that works like iGoogle with appls like weather, news, RSS feeds, etc. all laid out in a nice fashion on the page. Possible in Firefox?

Add-ons can change Firefox's built-in home page, but I don't know whether anyone has created such an add-on.

It might be easier to see whether Yahoo! or Microsoft has a replacement page with the widgets you want rather than building it from scratch.

Maybe a little early to really worry about iGoogle going away. It is not scheduled to be discontinued for another year and 3+ months (November 1, 2013). Something might be developed before then.
