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 Gladly it won't happen to my sister's laptop which installed Fedora Atomic. What happened?

@jimedrand For some people the homepage reverts to Fedora Home after every update (or most updates?). And nobody knows why. And everyone who sees it thinks it's intentional or happens to everyone. It is not and it does not.

This has been going on for years now, because the people who experience it think Fedora is doing something on purpose/wrong to cause it and suggest incorrect solutions, and the people who maintain the package can never reproduce it, and nobody has ever sat down to figure out WTF is actually going on.

@lina I see. Well, I hope it would be fixed soon.
@jimedrand @lina Might be related to Firefox not being able to restore tabs since forever on Linux?
@soc @jimedrand @lina uh what? I use Firefox on Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora and I've never had a problem restoring tabs
@_hic_haec_hoc @soc @lina Meanwhile in openSUSE sometimes had a same problem but now fixed. But for Fedora, I have no idea about the details.
