Re: Mozilla: Home page keeps resetting to default.



Hmm.  Running mozilla-browser 1.0.0-3 on up-to-date Woody,
the user-defined home page works for me...

- Edit->Preferences->Navigator
  "When Navigator starts up, dislay" -- click on "Home page"
  "Home Page   Location" -- www.cox.com
- click on "OK"
- exit mozilla
- run mozilla
- www.cox.com home page displays on the window.
