did FF recently change its corporate home page?
the current corporate home page is now in RED with a contribution request at the bottom. is this temporary? any way to revert to an earlier start page without downloading an earlier version of the browser? in my experience earlier versions are AUTO UPDATED even if I DISABLE that choice. I stopped using FF for that reason until more recently. I can reset the home page but the more familiar start page will suffice. solutions?

Hi
Mozilla is currently running its send of year fund raising campaign, something that is due to close on 31st December. In the top right hand corner there is a link to Continue to Mozilla .org if you wish to go straight to the main Mozilla site.
This article will help walk you thorough how to change your home page in Firefox.
I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into an alternative solution for you.
If you reload the built-in home page (Ctrl+r), the background color changes. In case that makes it less annoying to you.
The home page "snippets" are not specific to a particular version of Firefox. Those are updated independently of your Firefox version every several days.
How would you compare Opera with Firefox these days?
Add code to the userContent.css file.
@-moz-document url(about:home){
div.heart-background-image-left-container,
div.heart-background-image-right-container {display:none!important;}
body{background-color:unset!important;}
}
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
- create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
- use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
- paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
- make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css.
otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file
You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
- Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile Directory:
Windows: Show Folder; Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Or: use the little button with the "x" to remove it. To reveal the button, hover the text of the message. See attached screenshot.
