data:text/plain,browser.startup.homepage=https://start.fedoraproject.org/ is set as startup website, and browser shows browser.startup.homepage=https://start.fedoraproject.org/ as a text on starting firefox up.
Firefox version: 152.0 (aarch64)fedora - 1.0
Operating System: Fedora Linux 44 (Workstation Edition) - Gnome 50 Wayland
Hardware: Parallels ARM Virtual Machine(M4 Max Macbook Pro)
Before updating system, it was just https://start.fedoraproject.org/ without any problem but after full system update on Software app, it became data:text/plain,browser.startup.homepage=https://start.fedoraproject.org/, so I am not sure if it is because fedora system itself update or firefox (for fedora) update.

If you want https://start.fedoraproject.org to open every time Firefox is launched then set the attribute of browser.startup.homepage to:
That is not a bugfix or solution itself; that is user-side hotfix. Still, we need to know why that value was changed to data.text/plain ..., and fedora project itself (by the code) should fix that issue and push the update.
