At least mine does not. Does yours? -=- my fedora is at f14. at this time i am running sl 5.5 where firefox is; Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.24) Gecko/20111108 Red Hat/3.6-3.el5_7 Firefox/3.6.24 which does have 'browser.startup.homepage'. with it missing from you 9.x release, i would presume that firefox devs where too busy chasing their tales to get release version ahead of google chrome. 8-D -- peace out. tc.hago, g . *please reply "plain text" only.
