How to change the default web page in Linux Mint 12

I am using Linux Mint 12. I am trying to change the default web page, so that people using guest-session will open a specific web page instead of Linux Mint's corny default site.



Also, please note that when I installed Chromium, the Linux Mint default page comes up there too. There must be a global variable somewhere. It would likely be in the same place that Ubuntu keeps the same variable. Does anyone know where this variable is?

Go to Firefox settings. Go to the section on the home page. Change Firefox Home to Custom URLs. The default Firefox homepage found on other distros is about:newtab. Not sure if this will apply to other users, but it should help on your user.
