[ Tim Lunn ]
* Override ubufox homepage setting and use about:home instead of
about:startpage (LP: #1195367).
[ Jeremy Bicha ]
* Undo the changes from 13.10.1 since we're setting the Firefox
homepage a different way

Title:
Firefox about:home doesn't work right when set with ubuntu-defaults-
builder
Status in “ubufox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “ubuntu-gnome-default-settings” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I used ubuntu-defaults-builder to attempt to set Firefox's homepage to
the default since I think it looks better and is more functional than
Ubuntu's about:startpage.
However, it's not quite the same. You can verify by entering
about:home in the browser address field and then compare with the page
you get when you click the Home button in the toolbar.
- Search doesn't work
- None of the buttons on the bottom of the page (Downloads, History,
Settings, etc.) work
- The dynamic text under the Google search widget doesn't show up (It's easy
to customize your Firefox exactly the way you want it. or Thanks for choosing
Firefox! To get the most out of your browser, learn more about the latest
features.)
I have verified this issue with Saucy's Firefox 22 and 23.

And I'll attach the customized distribution.ini.
