During session, desired home page "sticks". But after closing and reopening Firefox, Home Page reverts back to "about:blank". Also experienced the same problem in version 1.0PR. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Display desired URL 2. Click Tools/Options/General/Home Page - Use Current Page - OK 3. Jump around to other URLs, then click Home Page icon, desired URL displays 4. Close browser, then reopen; about:blank is displayed! ????? Actual Results: Desired Home Page set is not being saved. Expected Results: Displayed Home Page that I set in Tools/Options/General/Home Page. I don't have a JVM installed, if that matters.
I noticed the same problem. 1. Have a Firefox instance started openned with more tabs 2. load to one of the tabs except of the first the web page you want to be your home page 3. Go to Tools/Options/General, click on Use Current Page 4. ==> the URL of the first tab is set as home page Clicking on Use Current Page should set the URL of the actual tab as home page
Summary: desired URL set as Home Page is not being saved → desired URL set as Home Page is not being saved
comment 1 is not related to this. reporter, do you set the homepage in user.js, by chance?
