Start page redirect
Forum link.
If you're seeing this message:
The connection was refused when attempting to contact start.mozilla.org...
Change your homepage to http://www.google.com/firefox, which is the same page.
It would also help reduce the load on mozilla.org
Update: Ben Goodger clarified that the redirect is done in CNAME, so the default start page does not cause a hit on mozilla.org servers.

Even if i enter http://www.google.com/firefox directly into the URL bar, I am redirected to http://www.google.de/firefox (the German page). :(
I live in Germany, but have the English version of Firefox and "Tools | options | General | Languages" only lists English (en-us). Obviously, I want english pages!
Anyone know what is wrong here?

It seems to be a new google feature. It happens to me even when I just go to www.google.com (I get redirected to google.nl)
However, on the main www.google.nl page there's a link to "Google in English", which returns it to www.google.com and seems to set a cookie: if I then visit www.google.com/firefox, it stays in English!
HTH,
Martin
