It is a remote page, as it has been for a while.
Would making it a local page be an acceptible alternative?

It's not so much about finding information as staying connected. As
noted in the bug and earlier message, people _are_ using this fairly
heavily, because we know they're clicking through links to Fedora
Magazine.
Do we know how much of a drop there is when people need to go through
a book mark with the initial page being blank? It doesn't sound like
the about:newpage version was there for a release, in which case we
probably don't know the effect.
