Description of problem: The new Fedora firefox start page only works on the first launch of firefox. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-2.0.0.9-1.fc8 How reproducible: Reproduced on three clean installs on three different systems. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a clean, standard install of Fedora 8 final 32-bit, aka: (782a0e80de1b8e9f24e10e40055cc1b545390cbd Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso Optionally yum update this to the latest firefox. 2. Login to default GNOME desktop 3. Start firefox. Observe nice home page at http://start.fedoraproject.org. 4. Close firefox. 5. Start firefox again. Observe that a blank browser is shown by default, not the nice Fedora start page. Click 'home' button in toolbar. Observe default 'upstream' http://google.com/firefox page. Weep. Expected results: The start page should remain http://start.fedoraproject.org until the user changes it to something else. Additional info: I have not tested this with a LiveCD, but I've seen it on three different installs from the f8 i386 dvd media.
At this point, we're going to only be taking security fixes and major stability fixes into this release of Fedora. However, we still want to ensure the bug is fixed in the next version. We'd appreciate if you could test Firefox 3, available at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html or now shipping as the default in Fedora rawhide and provide feedback as to whether it still exists so we can file a ticket upstream to try to fix it in Firefox 3 before it is released.
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. [This is a mass-closing request, if you think that this bug shouldn't be closed, please, reopen with additional information.]
