Bug Description
Since the Xenial -> Yakkety beta upgrade, firefox resets its homepage to https:/
I use the default Unity 7 desktop, no Mate whatsoever. (I might have started up Mate once or twice for a very short period, way before even upgrading to Xenial.)
Happened both with firefox-49 package as shipped by Xenial, as well as firefox-48 that's currently in Yakkety beta (I purged and then reinstalled the package to get the one matching the distro, rather than the latest).
No startup wrapper script or something like that should mess with my preferred homepage, let alone set it to something that is about a different desktop than the one I'm using.
