Comment (by immanetize):
It's been a while since this ticket was closed, but in firefox.git I still see:
{{{ firefox-redhat-default-prefs.js:pref("browser.startup.homepage", "data:text/plain,browser.startup.homepage=about:newtab"); }}}
The inference I'm drawing from the latest comments in bz1157682 is that the maintainer is waiting for the council to concede to design considerations from the upstream GNOME UX expert; either by continuing to use about:newtab as default homepage, or using about:newtab along with an offer to enroll in Fedora Magazine emails, or... something else.
Martin is in the unfair position here of being "caught in the middle" of a disagreement that at this point should be decided with the solution in effect. This has an impact beyond the GNOME experience, and especially with a clear leadership decision, has moved outside the scope of a GNOME design discussion. Council, please show some teeth and enforce your ruling.
