That's not really from the firefox update, that is because the SSL certificate is expired since 2021, and because it points to http://start.mageia.org/
Also the welcome page is contained in the package indextml and points to file:///usr/share/indexhtml/index.html (which forwards to http://start.mageia.org/)
Cf. https://gitweb.mageia.org/software/inde ... index.html

This isn't a bug, its presentation. Advertising? Not a complaint.

UM, this post is a duplicate of the post in advanced help, or this post in basic is a copy of it, inckuding all comments.

Except I marked that one solved.

I did not post twice, several others did not answer twice, something is wrong.


Edit
OK the one not marked solved forwards to this one.

Confused.

I moved your topic to Basic Support. Left a shadow copy in Advanced Support that redirects here.
