changing the default homepage in the prefernces sheet doesn't change it for hte
home button on the toolbar until you restart the browser

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install fresh copy of Firebird (don't forget to delete/move your old
~/Library/Phoenix/ folder for those of us using older versions)

2.Open Firebird, go to Mozilla Firebird -> Preferences, click on "General" and
change the home page from the default mozilla page to something else (like
google in my case).  Click "OK" on dialogue sheet.

3. Press the "Home" button on the button bar.  Note that it still goes to the
Mozilla start page.

4. Quit and Restart Firebird.

5. Note homepage is now Google and home button works.

Actual Results:  
The home page didn't switch until after restart

Expected Results:  
Applied the change when I pressed ok on the diaglogue sheet.
