Home page button not working, how to fix it?
In my Firefox 4, the home button does not take me to the home page. However, it opens a blank page saying browser.startup.homepage=about:home and the address "chrome://branding/locale/browserconfig.properties" appears in the url bar.
I tried fixing it by clicking restore to default and it still doesn't work.
Any help appreciated.

I would hazard a guess that you have some plugin installed that is changing Firefox settings. Try from SafeMode, and also look at what is shown in your Windows XP listing as installed programs.

Ok, I found that it is because of the addon New Tab King.
The problem is solved, but I wanted to know why or how to stop this besides disabling.
Is there another update or extension that functions the same way? or is there a way to set it so that I can still use it without problems, cause I still like its feature.
One of the other sites may be more likely to give you an answer, or even the addons own site. I note the developer https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-king/?src=api asks for contributions, so I would have hoped the add-on would work without compromising any of Firefox's features.
Digressing from your topic I note Firefox 5.0a2 from add-ons manager now no longer displays the navigation bar when displaying info about a searched for add-on.
It may be worth asking on
