Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Bill Gianopoulos [:WG9s]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041023 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041023 Firefox/1.0

I am not sure when this regressed, but with a Tinderbox build from 6:41 PM
October 23rd, after an install with the checkbox to reset the hompage selected,
a blank screen is presented upon browser startup.  Clicking on home does present
the correct page, however.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install firefox
2.  Select both checkboxes on the final screen (reset hompage and launch)
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox opened with a blank screen

Expected Results:  
Displayed the Firefox startup page.

This problem also exists with the official 10/24 nightly:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041024 Firefox/1.0

Confirming with branch build 20041024 on XP. This is broken functionality and
can be confusing, requesting blocking-aviary1.0.

I should have mentioned that the clicking on the "Home" icon on the toolbar does
go to the homepage.  Although Tools-> Options -> General shows an empty string
for homepage.

Sorry for the duplicate. Mid air collisions or something happened.
