Where did you get your build? It seems to have been built without official branding, and the project page is the correct URL in that case.

Perhaps though we should put some content at that location...

I got the source from:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.2/source/firefox-2.0.0.2-source.tar.bz2

Build with the following mozconfig file:

. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
export BUILD_OFFICIAL=1
export MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/cs/local/lib/pkgconfig
mk_add_options BUILD_OFFICIAL=1
mk_add_options MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1
ac_add_options --enable-optimize=-O2
ac_add_options --enable-xft
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2
ac_add_options --with-glib-prefix=/cs/local
ac_add_options --with-libIDL-prefix=/cs/local
ac_add_options --disable-installer
ac_add_options --enable-strip
ac_add_options --disable-debug
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --x-includes=/cs/local/include/X11
ac_add_options --disable-gnomevfs
ac_add_options --disable-gnomeui

Right, you didn't --enable-official-branding, so you got "Bon Echo", which uses a different start page. If you want we can turn this into a website bug to put something up there, otherwise it is INVALID.

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
