This could be a permission issue - inadvertently running firefox as root using sudo - yes - some people do that … This will create permission issues within your home folder - only effective remedy is to correct the permissions - but I do think it is an edge case and not one you would have done.Īnother thing to know is that most Manjaro editions installs a package named manjaro-browser-settings - this package installs presets for various browsers. The Firefox settings (hamburger menu → Preferences → Home) is where you change the start page - but you already know that. I am not saying your issue don’t exist but it must have another cause than mere update - because as stated - and I will repeat - Manjaro updates do not touch files and settings inside your ~ folder. Evidently this took place after synchronizing this pc with my FF account.) (Then I checked this same thing with one Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS laptop and there - after 2nd launch of FF 85.0.1 - the Home page is now empty page instead of my normal one and here also not possible to make change in FF/Settings/Home page. So I have this same phenomena now on 3 Manjaro machines, one with FF 85.0.2 and two with FF 85.0.1. But now there also it is not possible to make change in FF/Settings/Home page. The workaround is to replace in additional ‘Starting page’ with the desired home page and change to that page in place of Manjaro page. I guess this happened because those two machines are also connected to my FF account synchronizing and they got this from the 1st machine originally. I checked this with Manajaro Gnome Stable laptop and Manjaro Gnome Stable mini pc running still with previous version FF 85.0.1 and in those 2 other machines the same phenomena (Home page changed to ) took place after 2nd launch of FF. I reinstalled FF 85.0.2-1 from Manajaro Official package sources (extra) and try to figure out what causes this strange phenomena in this desktop. are not coming directly but - evidently - via flatpak, so I removed it, because I don’t know about flatpak updates. However there in Settings was a warning that updates. I tried Firefox 85.0.2 from flatpak and there was not the Home page.

Firefox revert to previous version
