[steven_demar]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I have my homepage set to
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ifps/MapClick.php?CityName=Las%20Cruces&state=NM&site=epz
but a new window with the mozilla homepage keeps popping up every few minutes. I
am not sure if it has to do with a spyware program, but each window that pops up
has your homepage on it, not my homepage. Furthermore, it only happens when
mozilla firefox is installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install firefox
2.start firefox
3.wait a few minutes

Actual Results:  
firefox initialized at my prefered homepage, but opened a new window with the
mozilla homepage on it after a few minutes

Expected Results:  
firefox should just sit there

problem only occurs WHEN INTERNET IS CONNECTED
