Is there a way to get novell's url out of firefox " home " icon?

[cousinlucky]

I have set firefox to a blank page at start-up but I can not get novell's url out of the home icon. Is there a way to remove novell's url from the firefox home icon?

Hi !

Tools -- Options -- Main -- Home Page text box. Either delete Novel's url and leave text box empty or add url that you prefer.
I have set UserCP as my home page.

Can't you just set your home page to something different in Preferences?

The quickest way to switch your homepage (in most browsers) is to drag the favicon from the address bar onto the Home icon.

The favicon, if you are not familiar, is the site's icon that appearsto the left of the URL in the address bar.

I'm sorry but I neglected to mention that I am using an old firefox 2.0 browser.

From memory, I think its >Edit>Preferences>Main ... and then change your Home page to whatever you want.

If I remember corrwctly; this is the same issue that stopped me from using the firefox browser when I first installed suse 10 many years ago.. Firefox 2.0 can be set to be blank at start-up but the home icon can not be set that way.

Funny, it's always worked fine for me. What you tell it to start up is only marginally related to the home page. The home page button is what's in the Edit - Preferences - Main > "Home Page" box. What it loads on startup is dependent on the choice box above that, can be blank, can be home page, can be pages open on last close.

Agree with D-cat on this ... startup page and home page are separate setting - and I think have been for quite a while. Do you have access to both settings from edit->preferences?

As a last resort you could try in about:config ...
startup.homepage_override_url
and
browser.startup.homepage

... one of the approaches should work
