Hi, I recently cleaned Firefox (history, temp files, etc), and now my Home page and startup have messed up. I had it set before to have a Blank Page when first opening Firefox so nothing will load. Then I'd click Home to open up my mail. Now, it's forcing Home to auto-load when starting Firefox instead of a blank page. My question is, How do I keep my Home button linked to my mail while also retaining a blank page on startup ? Thanks!

FIXED: Looking though about:config, I set browser.startup.page to zero.
