RE: firefox startpage

Mike,

apart from the default hidden away in the bowels of a .jar file, the other
option is to load a user.js file at load time. This could be done from SESSION
parameters. The problem I have is that this file lives in the
~/.phoenix/default/xxxxxxxx.slt directory (where xxxxxxxx is a random string of
8 characters) and am not sure how to generate this as part of the startup....

Have been meaning to spend more time looking at it (but as I had an immediate
fix, I haven't got around to it yet. Maybe after TS-O-Matic - if I ever finish
that....).
