If you use Firefox on Fedora and you currently lose your home page setting after updates please get in touch.

There is some kind of extremely stupid bug going on and people have been talking past each other about it for years. I will get down to the bottom of this.

Edit: more info here and here.

2455031 – Firefox losing preferences / bookmarks / home page [Tracking]

@lina Glad u are getting a crack on this. I almost forgot this bug existed after setup my own user.js
@colgrave Can you reproduce if you remove it?

@lina ill give a try later. haven't run updates for days anyways

Where should i send the logs

@colgrave If you can find something interesting in the logs that would be great, but otherwise we need a way to reproduce repeatably. That probably means, make a copy of your config directory before the update, update, confirm the problem happened, then restore the copy and confirm the problem still happens (and the pref is reset).

Then we'd have to start poking around what's special about that setup. If we can reduce the config dir to something that can be safely shared and repros the issue that would be nice.

I'm happy to work with you over chat (Matrix/Discord/whatever) if you're okay with that.
