Comment(by mikeperry):

 Did you first start it before we fixed the versions file? The default
 value for the homepage pref is "https://check.torproject.org/?lang=en-
 US&small=1&uptodate=1".. The only way it should be able to get to
 "uptodate=0" is if a earlier version check failed.

 Remember that we don't block on the version check anymore before launching
 the browser or loading the homepage, so whatever versioncheck result you
 got previously is what homepage value you'll have (until another version
 check can be performed to update your homepage value).
