Well my Fedora 9 is the one supplied by Fedora 16. So who am I going to tell they have an illegitimate firefox preference name?
i will presume you meant firefox 9 and not fedora 9.
that is something to take up with mozilla developers. i do not believe that either fedora or mozilla put the 'search.conduit.com' crap in your firefox.
i would guess that it is from you having picked it up somewhere when you where at a site that runs searches thru 'search.conduit.com'.
i am making a swag here, but i will say that you need to go thru your preferences for these settings;

because of possible differences between my release and yours, look thru *all* your settings to insure that there are not any more that allow changes being made.

"HomepageBeforeUnload" is not a legitimate firefox 'preference name'.
see;
The web page above is interesting but it seems to refer to Firefox up to Version 3, though I can't find a date on the document.

so i will presume that it covers thru firefox 8.x and firefox 9. please do not ask why the copyright notice does not say 2011. ;)
It does have various of browser.startup.homepage but the Fedora 166 firefox does not. At least mine does not. Does yours?

my fedora is at f14. at this time i am running sl 5.5 where firefox is;
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.24) Gecko/20111108 Red Hat/3.6-3.el5_7 Firefox/3.6.24
which does have 'browser.startup.homepage'.
with it missing from you 9.x release, i would presume that firefox devs where too busy chasing their tales to get release version ahead of google chrome. 8-D
