Selenium-webdriver on Ruby 1.8.7

Question

Is there a setting where you can update the homepage when it opens a new browser?

For newer version of selenium-webdriver , it actually opens a blank page. This is what i need right now, but i cant use it since the website im working is on 1.8.7 .

Im having problems with the older version because it opens a page and timeouts because I'm using a machine without an internet. (I need to use this machine)

I'm currently working with phantomJS btw. I checked it with firefox , it opens mozilla.org even though my default page in firefox is a blank page.

The .start(url,browser) doesn't work since it will open first the browser before going to the url .

Already fine with phantomjs . I thought it was an issue with an older version. In phantomjs, it really opens a blank page.

Newer version of selenium-webdriver , starts firefox with a blank page. While the lower version I use still have issues firefox.
