Not even sure this is standard and not a virus. Every time I open Firefox it redirects to Navigatrix. Even changing it in preferences to a different start page has no effect. It reverts. As I open and close my browser high multiple times a day it becomes very irritating. If it is not an intended NX feature it could be downright dangerous. Is this an indented feature or a virus? Please tell me how to change it. |

There is an actual purpose to the redirect. It gives a pulse, or heartbeat. But this will help you http://navigatrix.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=464&p=2233&hilit=firefox.js#p2233 remove it. I've removed mine because I found it irritating. |

I tried the fix in the linked thread, but it did not work for me. Once I had modified and saved the mozilla.cfg file, Firefox would not open, instead I would get a configuration error. As soon as I removed the '#' and saved the file, Firefox opened to the Navigatrix home page, no problem. I fixed the problem by changing 'When Firefox starts:' to 'Show my windows and tabs from last time'. It is in the 'Startup' section on the 'General' tab of Firefox Preferences. I then navigated to the site I wanted when Firefox started, closed and opened Firefox and there was the page I wanted. HTH, Morgan |

It's one of those mysteries. Last year, commenting out (#) the line did the trick. Now, the line needs to be deleted. Go figure. Glad you found a work-around. |
