Bug Description

Ubuntu GNOME since 13.10 has overridden Firefox's homepage to set it to about:home (Firefox's upstream default) instead of about:support (Ubuntu's default).

This broke over a year ago.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-gnome-default-settings - 17.04.1

---------------
ubuntu-gnome-default-settings (17.04.1) zesty; urgency=medium

  * Set Firefox homepage back to Mozilla's default about:home
    (LP: #1671626)
  * Add defaults for Onboard (onscreen keyboard). Diff from ubuntu-settings:
    - Set default font to Cantarell, the GNOME default font
    - Don't set Win key label to the Ubuntu logo since that only
      works with the Ubuntu font
