None. Anything I need to get to, I have the url memorised.
Plus, I dont turn my computer off, just sleep, so tabs are there.
Even if not. Press 'f' and i get the org and facebook. press y and get youtube etc. Everything i need i've already gone to.

I also have none. Sometimes I have temporary ones for things that I should remember but don't, but I never need them for very long and they end up being gotten rid of.
I'm a big fan of RSS bookmarks, which allow me to see loads of news stories without having to go to a particular web site. The RSS feeds on my Firefox bar:
BBC News
Slashdot
Ars Technica
The Register
I used to have a couple of "weird news" RSS feeds, but they went stagnant, and I haven't found replacements.
Too many to post here, I see a funny video, I save a link to it.
Then some I'm too lazy to type most of the time, some for university, pages of professors etc.
Mostly use Opera's quickstart thing though to get to the pages I visit most frequently, like this weird place here.
But I don't mind having tons of bookmarks, the file is only a few kB anyway, and it synchronizes them between PCs automatically as well, so whenever I want to find some cool video I saw once, I can look at my bookmarks.
My quickstart choices are:
Computer Base
Krawall
GameReport
GameTrailers
The Guild
SimHQ forums
PlayStation Blog
Touch Arcade
The Onion
Zero Punctuation
StudiVZ
Facebook

Fan of Yahtzee?
Heard of the Mana Bar? I've got to hit it up some time, part owned by him.
Also, start of the Fallout 3 ZP review, where he deviates from the normal music - title - review to do: music - line - finish music - title - review
The line is: pause "Yeah its pretty good"
I used to be in a Battlefield 2142 tourny, one of my friends from there got dragged along to a convention and he met yahtzee there, when yahtzee asked him what he thought of ZP, he said that. Absolutely hilarious if you know the guy, as hes soft spoken and speaks slowly and takes time to answer anything.
The Onion
Zero Punctuation
These sound interesting...
I use Mozilla Firefox too, nice solid browser, been a user since Beskar introduced me to it years and years ago. More reliable than Internet Explorer, at any rate.
My search bar function currently contains:
eBay, Encyclopedia Dramatica, Urban Dictionary, Wikipedia, Wikiquote, YouTube.
Bookmarks include:
Beyond The Tree, Ctrl+Alt+Del, Least I Could Do, Looking For Group, Penny Arcade, VG Cats - A variety of webcomics I enjoy reading.
Gameroom, Frontroom, The Arena - The three areas of the .Org I frequent most, easy access and all that.
Facebook, Twitter - Social networking, naturally.
GameFAQs, X-Box 360 Achievements - Because I occasionally get stuck or want to grab a certain achievement but want more information that the game itself provides.
Zero Punctuation - This guy's very funny, typical dry British wit, usually tears games apart but it's in the name of humour!
Jessica Chobot @ IGN - Funny, sassy, shares alot of my viewpoints... a great blog.
Rock Band Community - One of my favourite games, always check this every Friday to see if there's anything I'll be spending MS Points on come Tuesday.
DeviantArt - I have several artists friends on this who pestered me to check their stuff enough that I just bookmarked it.
BBC Sport - Because I need some way to follow my team, right?
BBC iPlayer - Catching up with Eastenders, Ashes to Ashes and Doctor Who. xD
4 on Demand - As above, but I use this more for watching series gone by rather than catching up on recently missed stuff.
Watch Anime On - Nice place to watch various anime, though I'm usually watching Higashi no Eden or Death Note.
HSBC Internet Banking - It speaks for itself.
TV Tropes - One of my favourite websites; I can literally start reading a single article and end up losing hours of my life going through the site. xD
