Setting the start page

[evanescent]

I do not want to see anything on starting Pale Moon but my own choice for a start page, which for some years has been my email server. I never want to see such a thing as startme unless I personally sign up for it. How do I remove it completely from my Pale Moon browser start-up and restore my own choice, please?

The same way you set your home page, unless you think or want to suggest that a HTTP request from the browser to start.me will trigger an apocalypse, in which case you can download the source, change the defaults and compile your own copy.

A question for MC/Tobin: why does running strings through the binaries NOT yield a match for start.palemoon.org?

I was actually talking about the strings present in the browser binaries.

I don't hard-code those things into the binaries.

There is very little in the way of strings in actual binary files..

So it just vanishes into the air? Seems like it, since I can't find a single occurrence of "palemoon.org" in the binaries, except for in the status bar:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ find /opt/palemoon -type f -exec grep -li palemoon.org {} \;
/opt/palemoon/distribution/bundles/statusbar@palemoon.org/install.rdf

Strings are by enlarge in the langpacks and other related files safely locked away in the omnija files.

I posted to you the file that contains where it is defined.

If you search for a string in compressed files, you won't find any.

Also, this is totally off-topic. Please take it to another thread. Splitting the topic.
