I tried to change my home page, but the new homepage won't save.

I went to Options...

I first tried "Use Current Page" for the New Home Page. The web address changed to the target I wanted, so I clicked "OK". I closed Firefox. When I re-opened Firefox, it opened to my old Home Page.

I then tried manually typing the new web address into the Home Page box, clicked "OK", closed Firefox, and it opened up again to my old Home Page.

I can change the home page, but it won't save the new home page.
