This idea seems a little obvious in hindsight, but I didn't think of it, Google field technician Erica Joy did: Rather than keeping Google Personalized Home (a.k.a. Google IG) open in a tab, change the layout of your Gadgets so they're all in the left column, then configure Firefox to open it in the sidebar. That way you can always have quick access to your Personalized Home without switching away from the page you're interested in. For complete instructions, head over to Erica Joy's blog.
