 Replying to [comment:7 ilf]:
 > It is intentional to reset the homepage to about:tor on every upgrade?
 As a user, I find this highly annoying, especially since "also use for new
 tabs" is *also* reset to enabled.
 >
 > IMHO, if a user changes these values, an upgrade should not reset them.
 As TBB desktop does.

 I agree this sounds like a bug. Could you open a new ticket? This one is
 closed for months and a slightly unrelated issue. Thanks!
