Okay I had this as my home page (mostly cause I just didn't like the new one) and yet today it started redirecting to just Google.com. Did they get rid of the old home page?

It is no longer supported.

Please use about:home

On the bottom of the screen, you will find many useful shortcuts for Firefox.

Google has not maintained the old Firefox start page ever since Firefox 4.0 was released as Fx 4.0 used about:home ever since.

So they just got rid of it today then. Cause that has been my homepage even after I updated to firefox 4. It only just stopped coming up today.

Oh well. I hope that they don't change the default homepage from google to yahoo. That's all I ask.
