Please check your installed packages rpm -qa | grep MozillaFirefox In addition it would have been nice to see your preferences before the update but that's likely impossible. Could you post the stuff from your profile's prefs.js which contains 'startup'? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Think I have another box with 11.3 & FF4 on, which I could try saving the prefs.js file, and upgrade to see what happens. Both are relatively fresh installs, unfortunately I have used "FF sync" so can't post up prefs.js directly on these boxes, there's too much info in there! That might be a route for an accidental preference change to spread, which I notice after upgrade, though I don't see how I'd find that to accidentally set it to "Home" - chrome://branding/locale/browserconfig.properties 11.4 fir:~ # rpm -qa |grep Mozilla MozillaFirefox-branding-openSUSE-5.0-2.3.1.x86_64 MozillaFirefox-translations-common-5.0-0.2.1.x86_64 MozillaFirefox-5.0-0.2.1.x86_64 Tumbleweed (from Tumble Seed minimal appliance) MozillaFirefox-5.0-0.2.1.i586 MozillaFirefox-branding-openSUSE-5.0-2.3.1.i586 Tumbleweed prefs.js from update this morning prefs.js : user_pref("accessibility.typeaheadfind", true); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-background-update-timer", 1309650237); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.blocklist-background-update-timer", 1309682321); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.microsummary-generator-update-timer", 1309371002); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.search-engine-update-timer", 1309856531); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 1048576); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run", false); user_pref("browser.cache.disk.smart_size_cached_value", 640000); user_pref("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", false); user_pref("browser.migration.version", 5); user_pref("browser.places.importBookmarksHTML", false); user_pref("browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion", 2); user_pref("browser.preferences.advanced.selectedTabIndex", 3); user_pref("browser.rights.3.shown", true); user_pref("browser.search.selectedEngine", "Wikipedia (en)"); user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "chrome://branding/locale/browserconfig.properties"); user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID", "2011061500"); user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "rv:5.0"); user_pref("browser.startup.page", 3); user_pref("distribution.openSUSE.bookmarksProcessed", true); -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
