Re: firefox startpage

The absolute 'quick and dirty' is to change the command to "firefox 
<your url>".

Or, you could change the defaults (browser.startup.homepage & others), 
which you will find in the region.properties file which can be found in 
the /locale/US/browser-region/ directory in the US.jar file which can be 
found in the firefox/lib/mozilla-1.6/chrome directory or your packages.

The second method does work. It's how I set my starting page...... Not 
sure how to apply this as a persistent patch though (ie. survive 
upgrades to the package - Miles???).
