As of 86.0.1 for Linux, Home prefs>New tabs won't stay set on Blank Page...
For some time now, Firefox browser for Linux keeps adding 2 URLs for Firefox to Prefs>Privacy&Security>Permissions>Warn when sites try to install add-ons>Exceptions, even when Remove All Websites is selected, and saved. That is annoying enough, that you cannot keep these 2-URLs removed; however, as of Firefox for Linux v86.0.1, the Prefs>Home>Home>New tabs won't stay saved on Blank Page, as it always has before. It just keeps reverting to Firefox Home (Default). Since I run no add-ons or extensions, and have tried help>troubleshoot info>open directory deleted all related prefs.js files, clear startup cache, tried to set form safe mode, refreshed Firefox, and completely purged and reinstalled to experience the same results, it's looking as if this is truly a newly introduced problem with the latest update. I've been searching for the past week, without any luck, to see if anyone else has commented on this new development, and figured it's time I started the thread. Would be nice if both settings issues were resolved once and for all. It's really not too much to expect settings actually stay set when presumably saved. Please help Mozilla...

Alright, I have just confirmed that this same issue with Prefs>Home>Home>New tabs won't stay saved on Blank Page, is also occuring consistently as of Firefox v86.0.1 (64-bit) on WIN8.1pro. Even more surprised no one using WIN versions haven't noticed this new issue yet. (The 2-Mozilla URLs, however, do stay removed from the Exceptions list, in the WIN version, when removed.) Again, please help Mozilla...
Correction to that last post on WIN version... If you Prefs>Privacy&Security>History > Clear History those 2-Mozilla URLs return to your Exceptions (against your will) in the WIN version, as well. Those 2-URLs are: https://addons.mozilla.org & https://fpn.firefox.com It would be nice if they stay removed once removed Mozilla.
Regardless, the Prefs>Home>Home>New tabs won't stay saved on Blank Page is the new issue for both Linux & WIN v86.0.1 Firefox browser.
Once again, please help Mozilla.

Those exceptions are to allow installing extensions on the Add-ons website and on the Firefox VPN website.
