Public bug reported:

Running firefox 50.1 on gnome 17.04 and every restart of firefox I have
to reset my homepage.  Tried the normal way by dragging the current tab
to the homepage icon and manually editing prefs.js to the wanted
homepage.  Once set the homepage setting is held until firefox reload.
Since the /home page is common to both the 17.04 system and 16.10 gnome
system I've tried to reproduce this failure on 16.10 but cannot.
