Thanks. Good to know that there was a bug and not something weird going on in our end.

You're right, we do have code for this. This was requested so that a one time reset would be done before setting the default.

    That happens only in upgrade from 60 to 68 (in my experience). If you
    change them after upgrade they stay as you set them. I think this is a
    bug in upgrade where that setting overrides user set homepage. Kind of
    "first use" case when it isn't that in reality. Could be related to
    that
    new profile for each install.

    Anyway it is a bug somewhere as it clearly does something it shouldn't.
