geofft mentioned at one point that he didn't think the extension was doing anything to fix the homepage.

- Component set to --
For some unrelated testing, I just moved my Firefox profile out of the way and started Firefox again. When I did, I got web.mit.edu as my homepage, so there may be something more complex happening here.

- Status changed from accepted to proposed
Fixed, by diverting/transforming /etc/firefox-3.0/pref/ubufox.js (where it exists),
adding our homepage preference setting to it. Built and uploaded to -proposed.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Our extension does set the default homepage, but it is getting overridden by the ubufox extension's preferences. (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259914 for more info).
We might be able to work around this by adding our preference settings to /etc/firefox-3.0/pref/ubufox.js.
