You can actually set firefox to having multiple home pages. This makes bug 1397809 really hard to do. As of the time of writing this bug zero extensions do this.

Let's restrict extensions to only setting one home page in chrome_settings_overrides.

Bug 1429590 - Only allow one homepage to be set by extensions

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/217058/#review223066

We usually do these sorts of transformations in `Schemas.normalize()` so if you're inclined to change it there (ie, add a new string format for urlWithNoPipes or something) that would be cool, but this is such a specific narrow case that I'm also fine with doing it here...

I created a format for this so it's handled by Schemas.normalize() now.
