pasting jh@junetz.de comment from bug 75599 here: I'm using Apache/MySQL/PHP for my Mozilla Home page. The problem with the new -turbo cmd line option is that my page requires WWW authentication (realized with PHP to verify database connections). With the new option in use Mozilla asks me for my PSM master password, the user to take for auth. and finally for a confirmation at the user/password dialogue. I think the Home page should not be loaded in such a case, maybe it's better not to load the Home page until you actually call a Mozilla/Navigator window, e.g. by double-clicking a desktop icon. IMO the preload feature should never ask or tell anything: Even if the Home page is unreachable there should be no warning until you actually decide to USE Mozilla. Apart from that I experienced that Mozilla loaded twice: At first Mozilla started in background (-turbo set) and asked me for authentication, then it loaded another time when I opened it using the desktop icon... Unreproducable, unfortunately. Another thing: When I open up Mozilla the first time after the preload it shows my Home page. If I close it then, it shows about:blank. :-/

This is essentially the same bug as bug 81712. When that is fixed to suppress loading the home page, this particular aspect (the home page requiring auth) will be fixed, also. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 81712 ***
