Just updated to 9.0.1~ select homepage as about:blank & startpage as blank but it continues to open with the mozilla whatsnew page how can I stop this & have blank as I require?
Per above I am using Firefox 9.0.1 with Windows XP Home Edition & have been unable so far to set my Firefox startup preferences per all previous versions to Blank page even tho' that's what is selected under Tools-Options-General

Hi macanudo,
You should look at this article about that specific issue and the article Preferences not saved. It might be a pref.js issue, so the second article should fix your issue with the search bar. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
- Type about:config in the address bar
- Click I'll be careful, I promise if prompted
- In the Filter input field type startup
- Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
- Delete the text string and click OK
- Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!
