I'd try /usr/local/firefox/defaults/pref/firefox.js
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://someURL.com");

Can't be sure, but that looks like it.

nope - i mean from a pref file somewhere!

anyway, solved the problem:

US.jar,

rename to US.zip, unzip, change all the instances of dslos.com in one file - can't remember which - rezip then change name back to .jar

job done!

and yes, ff install was messed up!
