Sorry for chiming in late in on the thread. For everyone that's using Ubuntu (11.10 or 12.04) and dislikes the Unity Desktop you do know that you can install the Classic Desktop (a/k/a fallback-session)?<div><br></div>

I wonder if this some sort of exploit or not. My firefox preferences
seem to change on their own somehow though not my homepage, except
in case of a firefox update. Firefox seems to not "remember"
application preferences and these have to be reset periodically,
though randomly. Interestingly Thunderbird does the same thing.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<pre>By the way, I have had some issues with some kind of exploit in
Firefox over the last month. Both at home and at a public computer.
Homepage and some other settings were changed. Easy enough to fix with
'<a>about:config</a>' but interesting that it has happened repeatedly.

<pre>Wow. Do you have any idea or leads about this issue? An exploit
related to Firefox, or some other hole something crawled in through? I
would be very interested to know any information you have about this.
Thanks,
Sean
