When I open Mozilla it goes to the mozilla homepage even though the prefences are set to blank page on startup , how do I fix this , somewhere in the registry ??? also having the same problem in netscape 7.2 except that goes to the Netscape 8.0 homepage though blank page is selected in the preferences.

I. normally, set the Preferences|appearance|Home page, which is, actually, a home group, from the several Tabs, which I have. I tested your problem, and when I set Appearance|Blank, I get all the toolbars, but nothing in the URL line, and a totally blank page. I, always get into the mozilla homepage when I first get a version, but, I immediately check my preferences, and select home group, and never see the Mozilla pagre again.
Have you tried to change the preferences after you first saw the mozilla homepage? I have this line in about:config (type about:config in the URL box)
browser.startup.homepage_override.1. The value is set to true (and, also the Tabs are listed).
You should look for something with browser.startup. I did not check when I did switch, and, it is a pain, to try it again. Look, and, get back to use, if you can't find anything.

Are you"sharing" the profile ?

This will happen when you share -

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "rv:1.9a1");

The "rv:<number>" is the version number of the Last version that was used.
If it does not match the profile rv number of the version that is starting it redirects to the "startup.homepage_override_url".

but I could be wrong.

This is incorrect, of course. It should read Preferences|Navigator|Home Page.

I, also went back to open to "blank", and, check about:config
To blank has: browser.startup page user set Integer 0
To Home has: browser.startup page user set Integer 1

My browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone is set to 1.7.12

you should have something like I mentioned above.
