Hello Gunjan Gupta! 🙂

O f course I can change this setting, but it does not save.

I can install addons, change search engine settings, but I can not change the default home page (it does not save).

Moreover, Gnome Setting made with GUI does not apply.

Is it possible to change the default homepage option in /etc/armbian/firefox.conf?

 

root@rock-5b:/etc/armbian# cat firefox.conf 
//
// set default home page
//pref("browser.startup.homepage","https://www.armbian.com");
pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);

 

One could argue why big companies are fined for a "call home" and armbian just fixes the homepage to something I don't want.

According to the law it might even be illegal in Europe.

 

Note: when the homepage is set to armbian.com and the user can freely alter it to something he'd rather have in the usual way, I don't think it is a problem.
