Yes, apparently it did. Not just that, but it appeared to reset the
selection in prefs.js. I could set the preferences, check that clicking
home took me to google, close firefox, re-open firefox, and home would
be sbc.yahoo.com again. It did not matter how you tried to change the
home location in firefox (dropping the icon on home, going to google and
selecting current page, hand editing the preferences box, etc.)
