I have TabBrowser Preferences 1.3.1.1 Extension loaded on Firefox.

Whenever I update extension/theme or Firefox itself, the 
Tools --> Options --> Tab Browsing --> User Interface --> New Tab Button --> "When loading new tabs, load the" option always resets to Blank page; instead of keeping my "Browser Homepage" option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update Firefox or Extension/Theme
2. Reboot Firefox

Actual Results:  
Resets "New Tabs Open with" - Blank page

Expected Results:  
Should keep "New Tabs open with" - Browser Homepage option

This has happened with several updates of Firefox, various extensions AND theme updates.

Dan, does this happen with a brand new profile, after installing the extension in it and updating?

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
