Mozilla Homepage

I just recently installed Mozilla installed on a computer that I only use once a week. What I haven't been able to figure out - and it surprises me every week - is why Mozilla opens to the Mozilla homepage every time I use it. In Preferences, Navigator is set to open to a blank page, and the homepage is not Mozilla. Is there some other setting I've missed?

I've installed Mozilla on 3 other computers and this problem has never come up on any of the others. The only thing that's different on this particular system is that email is not set up on it. Otherwise they're all the same.

Actually, now that I reconsider, this one machine also is the only one that I haven't customized to not open with the splash screen. I wonder if that's related in some way...

 

Hi bentley,

Often it is necessary to enable, then disable a setting more than once to get Mozilla to retain that setting. I had to do so with Mozilla 7.1 RC 1 to get rid of the Moz home page, rather than a blank page, which I had selected. I don't believe having the splash screen disabled or enabled would have any effect on your problem. Also close Mozilla after changing the setting to see if this might also help.

In Preferences | Navigator

Display on Navigator Startup
Blank Page

Home Page
Leave the Location Field blank

Thanks, Ramona - I'll try that on Saturday when I get my hands on that computer again. I know that technique is required in some other applications, so I'm not surprised that it works that way in Mozilla.
