Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Bookmarks 2.Firefox Mozilla Links 3.Firefox Start page Actual Results: http://www.google.com/firefox/ url in address bar and 404 Not Found error (The requested URL /firefox/ was not found on this server.) returned by Google Expected Results: http://start.mozilla.org/firefox/ should load as indicated in the Propeties Dialog box This is occuring with the saferfox theme. I have not tested with other themes. I will select severity as Major although I consider it to be a Critical issue when trying to convince new users about security. Loading a url not specified in the properties dialog could be serious risk. Therefore I will send a security email also to reference this bug.

I have switched back to the default theme and still produce the same exact results.

Not a security exploit, clearing confidential flag. The redirection is intended, Google is hosting the Firefox start page. Somehow your prefs got an extra '/' at the end, and that's being copied as part of the redirect. "http://www.google.com/firefox/" is not found, the real start page is "http://www.google.com/firefox" Remove the trailing slash in firefox/ from your prefs and it will work fine. I don't know how you got in this state, perhaps it was that way in an earlier version.
