When I click Home button, a new tab searching for server 10.0.0.4.

When I click the Home button, FF 3.6.6 opens it in a new tab, but also opens a new tab continuously searching for server at 10.0.0.4, which of course does not exist! Even whenever I open FF , it always starts automatically looking for server 10.0.0.4, and also opens my Home Page in a new tab.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I had to log in thru my college's server to access the Internet (they use Cyberroam for monitoring site access). But now I'm at home, and log in directly to the net.

I solved the problem... quite silly of me... Cyberroam changed my Home Page link, making it check the server each time. All I had to do was select the Home Page file in Preferences and save it properly. Sorry for not checking properly in the first place.
