When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get the following error message:

"Not Found The requested URL /en-US/firefox was not found on this server."

...but other websites, such as Google or CNN.com, work just fine.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.28 on my MacBook Pro, with OS 10.4.11. I can't update to the latest version of Firefox unless I update my OS, which would be costly and also involve increasing my RAM.

But the Firefox homepage worked fine until this morning. Is this likely to be a temporary glitch? If not, how can I fix it?

Thanks, Emmy

At least at the moment, the default Firefox homepage is back! So maybe this was a momentary glitch. But see below.

BTW, here's the URL for the page: http://start.mozilla.org/en-US/?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

But, the "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" currently lacks a menu bar at the top with various Google options such as "Gmail," "more," etc. I found these very useful.

I'm wondering -- did Google tell Mozilla to stop including those links on its start page? Maybe Google wants us all to switch to having Google as our default homepage. Or is the lack of a menu bar just another temporary glitch?
