The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is startup.homepage_override_url.

This article describes the preference startup.homepage_override_url. To add, delete, or modify this preference, you will need to edit your configuration — do not edit this article.

Background

When a user starts up their browser after upgrading (i.e., if browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone is different than the last time the browser started), the URL specified in this preference is loaded instead of their homepage.

Possible values and their effects

The URL to use as a homepage when the browser starts after an upgrade. In Firefox, the default value is http://%LOCALE%.www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/%APP%/%VERSION%/whatsnew/, where %LOCALE%, %APP%, and %VERSION% are replaced with the value of general.useragent.locale, “firefox”, and the current browser version, respectively.
