Is it just the home page? Any other problems?

What is the full home page link?

Well if we invoke Firefox it should go to the home page, the full home page link remains the same, doesn't it. Well logically it must because Firefox can later access the home page link without any manual intervention or alteration of the home page link.

To test alternate pages we would have to select from the Favourites or bookmarked list, which we haven't attempted.

It is just easier to invoke Microsoft IE, since mostly we are doing educational research and not working from the Favourites or Book marked pages list, research requires a search engine to be available (which is why we have a search engine as our home page).
