I'm running testing, and the Mozilla that comes with it. Every time I

I've cleaned out caches, removed and blocked all cookies, etc. I've even
scanned all the mozilla files in my ~/.mozilla directories for the
idealab string. No matter what, it still does it. Anyone know why? Is
there a fix for this?
Doesn't work. But a little research turned up the reason for it.
It's a bug. It seems that if you open up Mozilla with the History tab
foremost, it attempts to execute a "find:" command (similar to other
commands like, "about:" and such). This fails, so it converts this to a
URL: www.find.com. This redirects to find.idealab.com.
I saw that someone posted a link to the fix, but the link was stale, so
I don't know what the fix is.
