Why is it critical if you have to define "about:blank" as homepage? The browser config hasn't changed AFAICT so the only reason could be a changed behaviour in the 2.x series of Firefox. Or did it still work for you with beta1 or similar? -- 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.

Its of no use if this field is only blank when firefox starts. Its also of no use if this field is set to "about:blank". -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=305182#c5 --- Comment #5 from Klaus Kämpf 2007-08-28 04:09:56 MST --- Seems to be non-deterministic behaviour. When I enter 'about:blank' as the homepage, I sometimes get 'about:blank' and sometimes '' (empty url). I still don't understand why Firefox shows me www.opensuse.org when I leave the 'home page' field empty in the preferences. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=305182#c7 --- Comment #7 from Wolfgang Rosenauer 2007-08-28 06:26:12 MST --- Why it falls back to www.opensuse.org: The pref which controls it is browser.startup.homepage which is automatically set to the value "resource:/browserconfig.properties" (which is the default set in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/firefox.js) since an empty string in a pref seems to enable the default value. And it's defined to http://www.opensuse.org there. But I can't reproduce that about:blank appears in the urlbar when you set it as start page. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=305182#c11 --- Comment #11 from Wolfgang Rosenauer 2007-08-29 11:11:17 MST --- While I agree that it might look a bit weird that an empty string falls back to the default it's not really a bug. The only bug (which I can't reproduce) is that about:blank shouldn't be filled in the urlbar. So would propose to lower the severity. -- 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.
