 > 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).

 Even after a complete restart? I turned it all off and started it again.

 I hope it doesn't cache stuff across runs.

 That said, I left the old one up for a few hours, then just restarted it,
 and now the check page is the right one.

 *Does* it cache stuff across runs?
