Oggetto: [Tails-dev] Set Tor Browser homepage to offline html of tails.net
Tor Browser pings tails.net every time the browser is launched.

This could lead to fingerprinting tails users more on a circuit.

Tca from my understanding already sends requests to tails.net every time tails is booted to check for updates and for feedback to understand how many people are booting/using tails.

Changing the startup homepage to `/usr/share/doc/tails/website/index.en.html` would make it so users can still see the Tails News and Documentation while also avoiding pinging tails.net more then needed on a circuit.

The only downside would be that users would only see the latest news regarding their current version as the offline documentation is only current with the version users are on.

(Offline documentation is updated every new update.)

What are your thoughts on setting this pref?

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "/usr/share/doc/tails/website/index.en.html");
