The setting for my homepage is a local page on my hard drive. This button worked
fine in version 0.9, and I am wondering why it doesn't work after installing the
update to 0.10.

I am also having this same bug. I installed Firefox 0.93 to 0.10 then upgraded
when told to do so to 0.10.1. I have several extensions installed and have
disabled them to determine if they are the cause, all disabled and still
homepage button does nothing. I am running Windows XP SP2 (Clean install). I do
not have this bug show up in Linux or as a clean Firefox install. Only Go>Home
or ALT+Home will put up the home page.

latest 1.0PR and now it no longer works. i'm running win xp sp2. my homepage is
still set correctly, the button just does nothing when i click on it. i've tried
different themes and disabling extensions, but still no fucntional home button!

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
