Autoconfig - Homepage not being set.

Unread post by TaenErmontov » 2018-03-16, 18:17

I'm trying to set up a default configuration using autoconfig in the
'proper' way and everything is working except the homepage setting.

This shows as changed in about:config but is not actually being changed.

'Preferences -> General -> Home Page:' still shows as 'Pale Moon Start Page'
and the home button still loads the start page.

I've tested it using v26.X and v27.x under both Linux and Windows. It behaves
in exactly the same way in all cases.

Here are the relevant entries from my config and properties files.

Code: Select all

custom.cfg:
const gProperties = "file:///usr/lib64/palemoon/custom.properties";
defaultPref("browser.startup.homepage", gProperties);


custom.properties:
browser.startup.homepage=about:logopage
Any assistance would be appreciated.
