I wonder about that logic beacuse Firefox was doing its job, i.e. telling people what it was pointed at. The file was not there it is not Firefoxs problem. My thinking goes as follows: if I choose www.ubuntu.com as my homepage and the browser does not www.ubuntu.com then the fault could be that www.ubuntu.com is down or a problem with the browser. If the browser can get to www.ubuntu.com when typed in but could not pick up the same site from the homepage setting then I would agree with you. However in this case the address for the file was at fault so I can't see why I would blame firefox.
