[X-Apps] Preferences-not being saved

[Bill Reburn]

Apologies, I should have thrown a smilie in there.. You're comment wasn't
useless. But Safari is sometimes (it's still beta software for a reason).

Using Safari just isn't an option to me for some online banking.. Annoying
as it is I have to fire up IE from time to time. And frankly I just don't
want more than two browsers to deal with.. One would be ideal, but I laugh
when I see people running 4 or 5 at a time.. Fun being experimental
sometimes, I guess.

Very frustrating to have IE get amnesia right in the middle of a secure
banking session. Doubly frustrating because as much as everyone likes to
slag it, it works in more places than any other.. So I keep it aboard.

We're trying to fnd out what broke though, don't need alternatives.
