Another Fedora "being too clever" annoyance!
When I start Firefox it insists on going to the page:-
file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.htmlThe 'Home Page' in Firefox preferences doesn't override this, I have it set to about:blank.
The only time I have seen firefox ignore the homepage on startup is if the a url is supplied after the firefox command in what ever menu you are launching firefox from.
Do you get the same behaviour if you launch firefox from a terminal ? (remembering to close of any existing instances of firefox first otherwise the existing instance will just spawn another thread) If so is the 'firefox' in your path a script and not a link to the firefox binary itself ? (use file to find out)
I wonder if they have tried to do something cute to display some welcome page on the first run which is failing to reset itself.
