You don't have any (non-default) extensions or plugins?  Sometimes they 
mess w/ things.
Other than that one change, did you make any others?
Wondering if a file got corrupted?

One easy thing is just "reinstall" TBB.  Erase old files & start fresh.  
If something got corrupted, it'll be replaced.  Assuming you have a good 
d/l copy.
I've changed those settings before & they don't refuse to go back.  But, 
you may've found the newest "bug."
