Prior to the upgrade to Firefox 12 when I opened it it showed my homepage (Excite) by displaying the top of the page, after which I would scroll down. Now, it opens at the very bottom of the page and I have to scroll up to start at the top. I'm on an iMac.

Such issues can be caused by blocking sites via a host file.

This should be fixed in Firefox 13 to be released on Tuesday June 5.

Downloading the update to V.13 has not resolved this problem for me. My homepage still opens at the bottom of the page. It's so frustrating!
