I installed Firefox on my hp 2133 netbook and after installation the words "you are almost there" starts up. If I "X" it out, I can get into Firefox, and everything works fine.

about:config in browser bar Look for Startup.homepage_override_url Change it to the home page you want to use. This will stop that whinning for you to update.
