Hello Jordan! Well, first of all the Workaround is meant for you to put to the default startup homepage into the mozilla.cfg not firefox.js. I still haven't been able to figure out how to fix that (Although I have to admit I wasn't able to spend much time debugging). But second, you're correct

It is my stance that most of this should be covered in the /etc/firefox-3.0/pref/firefox.js file (if using FF3.x), as this is the pref file that all other global options are set (and seem to work fine besides this one pref). - Jordan furicle wrote: > On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 8:15 AM, Philippe
