When switching websites frequently sets the work offline mode to true. You then have to got to preferences and switch back to work online in order to go to the next website.

Hi,

I'll try explaining my problem again.

First: Using Ubuntu8.04 and Firefox 3.0.4

1. In preferences set Home Page to http://www.google.com
2. Shut down Firefox.
3. Start Firefox.
4. Looked at "about:config"
    a. browser.startup.homepage = http://www.google.com
5. Shut down Firefox.
6. Start Firefox
7. Page loaded is "Ubuntu............."

Apparently prefs.js is not storing the settings correctly ????

Any Solutions??

Thanks,

Rick P.

Clean firefox mozilla profile

Close all opened Firefox and try to delete your Firefox user setting open a terminal from applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:
mv .mozilla .mozilla_old
and restart Firefox.

If you have a lot of bookmarks please export them before move your setting directory, then import them again from saved file into Firefox.
Also take note of your installed Firefox extensions, to reinstall them.

if this works then delete the .mozilla_old directory, from terminal, type:
rm -fr .mozilla_old

hope this helps
