Firefox new homepage is ugly without the firefox logo and too complex to adjust

johnd.hicks

The original Firefox homepage: http://www.google.co.uk/firefox keeps telling me to update when it is up to date. The new one: http://uk.foxstart.com/?rls=en:uk:zz is unacceptable because it is ugly and shows no Firefox logo. Your original young fans are now getting a bit older; haven't the time to keep changing the appearance of their homescreen. Aren't you becoming obsessed with the medium at the expense of the message?

You may see that erroneous update message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained by Google. You appear to have the latest Firefox version.

If you want the Google search page as your home page, change your home page to about:home (a new, updated version of the old Google/Firefox home page is now built-in to Firefox).
