Re: F9: What's up with the Firefox home page?

However, if I click the home button on the toolbar, or use Alt+Home, I get the Google Firefox home page: http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-arls=org.mozilla:en-US:official Even explicitly setting my home page back to start.fedoraproject.org does not change the behavior of the home button. I could swear that the home button used to simply take me to the Fedora start page, but not now. I know it's stupid thing; I don't much care which page is used, but I'd very much like to know what's going on. Maybe something to do with FF3 entering release-candidate phase? On my system (firefox-3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9.x86_64) the Home button takes me to my home page. OT: I'd actually like to get rid of the Home button as it just takes up space, but in contrast to the other bookmarks in the toolbar it doesn't have a Delete option in the right-click menu. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Re: F9: What's up with the Firefox home page?
I just did some experimenting, and apparently the firefox designers felt compelled to introduce two different concepts: 1) The page displayed at firefox startup. 2) The home page. Obviously, we can all see the burning need to have those be configured to point to different places :-). In the preferences, I set the startup page to be be blank, then I exited firefox, started it again, and observed that I did indeed get a blank page. Then I went back into preferences and set home page to be current page, so finally I have home and startup pointing to the same place. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

It's simultaneously completely logical and totally non-obvious (i.e. lacks affordance as they say in the HCI trade). poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
