Meant to copy the list on this, for future reference.

So if I understand correctly -- you've enabled the close-after-reload
option, and your home page has been added to the list?  Yikes.

Close-after-reload is *not* my favorite feature, for reasons like
this... but demand was high.

Best bet:

1.	Open firefox in safe mode (via the Firefox start menu group, there
should be a Safe Mode option)

2.	Enter:

		about:config

	In the address bar

3.	Scroll, or filter, to find "ieview.closeReloadPage"

4.	Double-click this, to set it to "false"

5.	Exit Firefox.  Restart in regular mode.

This should turn off the close-after-reload option, so you can edit the
always-in-IE-list as usual, without Firefox exiting on you.
