I totally understand redesigning, but not understanding the dropping of the page - what would be a reasonable replacement?
The rationale is that when people open up a web browser, they want to go to where they want to go, and that is very likely not start.fedoraproject.org.
E.g., if I open a web browser, I'm going to view my web calendar, read planet Fedora, or look something up on wikipedia.
So the alternative is a dashboard built into the browser (Firefox provides this via a plugin, I think the others do too) that shows your most frequently visited sites so you can easily click to access them, since that's what you really want to do.

I agree with Mairin, the most folks would want to go to their own website after the launch the browser.
The only way I could think of having start.fedoraproject.org being of any use it to link the user to the corresponding Release Notes [1] (as an example). This way the user would have a quick glance of what's new and what has changed and they go on with their daily business. Another reason for going to that page is the "CommonBugs" page which is important, especially after an upgrade.
Unless we something like I mention above is done, my thought recently has been to remove it or maybe just replace start.fp.o with fedoraproject.org

I'd say we keep Firefox's default about:home, we don't change default homepage in other browsers, so we shouldn't change it on Firefox as well (stick to upstream policy).
The dashboard idea sounds good though, especially because more GNOME applications are going to have these soon ( https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree/Features/Blank%20slate%20helps%20you%...).
We could install this Firefox extension you are talking about by default
with Fedora if it's stable enough (and 100% free with no legal issues). If you link me to the specific extension, I'll try to get it packaged (if it isn't already), which is the first thing we need to make it default.
As some of you probably know, i always have an eye on peoples privacy, therefor i think it is Fedoras responsibility to guard ones privacy whenever and where ever it can, as being Free in so many ways.
Opening a web browser to an outside site always immediately generates privacy-data to that site, whether the user wants it or not (at least you generate IP-traffic).
There are many people who always want to be in control of what data they send, when and to whom.
The only good choice imho the Fedora Project can make regarding this issue, is starting with a local page or with 'about:blank' thus letting users choose by their selves where to go next on the web.

Firefox's about:home is a local page. Mo's idea is also 100% local.
