Hi all. I am mildly annoyed by the fact that the above URL keeps showing up as my homepage in Firefox after a reboot even though I've changed and saved it to something else. Any suggestions on how I stop this? I searched and didn't get any hits, hopefully this isn't something that has come up a number of times before and I missed it..Thanks!

I know that Access Connections (AC) has the capability to set different home pages depending upon the type of network connection that has been established. However, I'm not aware that it will affect Firefox's defaults. My understanding is that it does this for Internet Explorer. In the event that I'm wrong and if you are using AC for your net connection, then check that utility and disable the home page setting.

BINGO!

That's what it was - I went into edit on my home wireless profile and there is an "Additional Settings" tab with a "Override home page" option that was checked and set to http://lenovo.live.com/. That would've taken me a while to find, thanks!
