Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1 I do not want to be taken to the firefox start page by default, and I especially do not want to use any start page that uses Google (also do not like Google being the default in the list above -personal preference). So, I unchecked the option at the end of the installation. However, whenever firefox was started each time, it had the firefox start page set; and it had to be manually changed. This may be a bug, oversight, or done on purpose. If it is a bug, please take a look to see if it is only on our computers configuration or if this happens on others as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install firefox 1.0.1 2.at end of installation, uncheck to set default page to firefox's start page 3. Actual Results: I ran firefox, closed it, ran it; and each time it had the default until we changed it. Expected Results: It should have imported the start page set in IE -which was not firefox's start page in my case.
