Is this going to be a local copy of that page or is this going to open a network connection start.fedoraproject.org, before one has an easy opportunity to change the start page?
It is a remote page, as it has been for a while.
Would making it a local page be an acceptible alternative?
This link and other Fedora links are already added to bookmarks. Are people trying to find out more about Fedora after installation, actually having a problem finding information?
It's not so much about finding information as staying connected. As noted in the bug and earlier message, people _are_ using this fairly heavily, because we know they're clicking through links to Fedora Magazine.
Do we know how much of a drop there is when people need to go through a book mark with the initial page being blank? It doesn't sound like the about:newpage version was there for a release, in which case we probably don't know the effect.
