Homepage is default set to "http://start.ubuntu.com/10.04//Google/" with two slashes before "Google"

[Martijn Courteaux]

Binary package hint: firefox

The default homepage of firefox is set to "http://start.ubuntu.com/10.04//Google/" with two slashes beween "10.04" and "Google". Maybe this is a typing mistake by translating the application the program to Dutch. After a few seconds firefox removes the slash, but it would be nice if it is directly correct.

Martin, thanks for reporting this bug. It looks like a simple one-character fix and the bug is not specific to Dutch.

An interesting side effect is that the homepage now appears as about:home instead of http://start.ubuntu.com/10.04/Google/ but that's not really a problem.

I have attached a bzr branch with the fix.
