On 05/07/06, Keith G. Robertson-Turner > Corporate desktops invariably have, as their home page, a portal to
their intra-net and local mail. If users, potentially more than one per machine, futz around with the home page setting, they can easily get lost and forget the various URLs. I would assume that the sysadmin, wishing to save time on unnecessary support calls, would want to lock down the home page for that purpose. However, this is a problem that is more common on Windows, since it has to contend with browser hijackers and "make this your homepage" type COM/ActiveX popups, that you just don't get under Linux, nor with Mozilla browsers. However, there is certainly no harm in locking it down (at work) and might actually save a few headaches.
If the browser is meant to be used by multiple users, then yes, I see the point. Then one of the various Kiosk extensions (or even Opera) would be a good idea.
