174880 - Incorrect homepage when home button is clicked on

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Jim Parsons]

When Phoenix 0.3 is first brought up, my set homepage comes up. But when I surf
away from my homepage, and then hit the home button, it takes me to the Mozilla page

I'm consistently having this problem since Phoenix 0.3 or thereabouts.  Currently using the 20021028 nightly, it still occurs. When Phoenix opens, it uses the correct homepage, but when you click the Home button, it *always* goes to mozilla.org.

Note that I normally have a file:// URL as homepage, but http:// URLs don't work either... :-(

I'm now removing the Home button from the toolbar again, since it is quite useless in this state. I'll have to use a bookmark or something for the time being.

The problem disappeared by completely erasing Phoenix and all
preferences, .dat/registry files etc, and reinstalling from scratch.
My prefs.js file is now almost exactly the same as before, including
the homepage prefs, but the Home button works as advertised...

(Btw, my apologies for not properly wrapping the previous comment)

Same problem using 11/4 nightly under Win ME.  Tried creating new profile. 
Didn't help.

Please reopen.  Thanks.
