Despite your interesting conspiracy theories, this is merely because the default configuration of FireFox on OpenSolaris includes a Live Bookmark to planet.opensolaris.org. I believe that if you remove the live bookmark from FireFox and restart the browser, you won't see this behaviour anymore. It might be better to ask questions first and make accusations later... -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
