Well, reading can sometimes help...

I didn't miss it. You see, some of us DO read. :)

Yes, 3 times, on my Linux box, my XP Pro laptop, and my PC at the office. I noticed the loss of home pages setting and had to make it right by hand.

The dialog I showed above is the last place I would think of to look for reasons why homepage settings are changed.

First of all, you are blind. Second of all, why WOULDN'T you want the firefox start page as your home page? I was relieved to see that beautiful combination of FF and Google!

omg try reading for once buddy, try reading for once i saw it, and I figured I would just use the normal default firefox start page it's the same thing as google anyway!! not to mention you could always just change the homepage again in the 'options' don't whine about computers when you don't know anything about them firefox is the best browser out there

Firefox is not the best browser, not all, what is shining is gold. Firefox users extreme often swank, with the extendebility and security, but this extensions can not only be a mercy, they can also be ban. There is also bad software, that uses it, you get ever often (silantly) toolbars, spyware installed when installing "freeware" (and or equals malware), FF is getting ever deeper in the situation of the Internet Exploder with its BHO´s ( =Browser Helper Object =IE Extension) And Firefox is getting more and more attractive for (bad) hackers (trojans & co) and Firefox has also some a long time (nearly a half jear, actually fixed) "less" critical, but not un- blematic unpatched security holes, because mannnnny of them are "exposure of sesitive information", that also means PASSWORDS, Credit-card data and other an. Firefox gets often Partial fixes and cheap "workarounds". firefox gets ever more often highjacked (like IE since jears). With opera, i got never highjacked, got never spyware in Opera, got never unwanted toolbars, got never bad firefox extensions and this "less" critical bugs are mostly faster fixed. And the only 3rd party toolbars, i found were trustworth and i had to unpack and install it manually. And opera is not so attractive for hackers as Firefox. But Firefox is currently a bit more secure than IE (and it does not use [like other non IE browsers] the extreme dangerous ActiveX controls)
