You wouldn't happen to know what your home page is set to? If it is a local file,
are you able to attach it to this bug?
The home page is set to http://www.cityofsancarlos.org/

That URL WFM.

It is a bit of a long shot, but I wonder if somewhere in your profile there is
a URL of the form 'file:///D:/Program Files/Firefox 1.0/Files/Firefox' which
should be 'file://D:/Program Files/Firefox 1.0/Files/Firefox' .

You might want to do a bit of detective work based on that clue, or start with
a fresh profile.
