[Bug 1721965] Re: regression: cannot change home page in Firefox again (Artful)

For me it not only resets the homepage but also makes FF lock up on the start up for a couple of secs. Looks as if FF is actually trying to connect to ubuntu-mate.org and fails or whatever. I didn't investigate what really happens tho. Yep Web standards have become a HORRIBLE BLOATED MESS and brow

This existing upstream Firefox report looks to be the closest to the problem - there are bugs with defaultPref() under Ubuntu. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=947838 I have made the (technically correct) fix here - but the defaults will not work properly until the bug is fixed in Fi

Tinkered around a bit more and it really looks there is some weird bug. The Ubuntu Firefox modifications set the home page three times, each time with pref(): startup.homepage_override_url startup.homepage_welcome_url browser.startup.homepage Would it be acceptable as an workaround still to use d
