I don't care if there any pre-defined quicklaunch icons on the starting page in your browser after install, but could you stop adding/readding unwanted elements to it? I don't have facebook, why on earth are you adding it back after every update? Is this normal? What would you think if i would always mess with your stuff without asking just because i can? No, you aren't supposed to mess with my stuff, so please leave my startpage alone.
I am not searching for workarounds, i can always put the browser onto RO disk or use an own, handcrafted html startpage, but do i really have to use workarounds just to be able to use your product without frustration? What about not using your product at all?
