Mozilla recently made a few changes to the Firefox web browser.

One of the things that the developers changed recently is the way website urls are displayed in the address bar. HTTP websites no longer show up with the protocol http:// in front.
That in some cases may cause issues with opening your home page on initial Firefox start.

I keep getting the new update pop up asking me to load the newest version, but I keep clicking "remind me later"
Whats a home page? I open to my desktop and surf from there. Done it that way since the day after web-tv many moons ago.
