Safari won't save Home page designation

stays that way until I exit and re-start, after which it goes back to the
default home page (http://home.netscape.com/apple.adp). Is there any way to
change it permanently, or is this an Apple marketing gimmick?

For what it's worth, I don't have that problem. Maybe try going to
yahoo.com and selecting "current page" might work. I've never had a
problem with this feature with any of the Safari betas or the current
1.0.

I had a similar problem -- for some reason it took several attempts to
select a custom homepage that would stick, but after quitting and
restarting Safari I few times, it eventually became cured of its amnesia.

I had this same problem and thought I had it licked but it's back again
for me too.
I am using:
Safari 1.0 (had been updated from two previous installed betas)
OSX 10.2.4
I had tried dumping prefs for Safari and emptying all OSX caches via
Cocktail, and then reset both Sys PREF/Internet/Web/home page & Safari
PREFs homepage to my preferred homepage.
This seemed to work for a while (many days I did not keep track)
suddenly it reverted.
Lately, I just tried completely trashing everything Safari related
(PREFs application itself etc) and then reinstalled from scratch Safari
from dmg installer. Then dumped caches again and reset the two PREFS to
my preferred home page.
So far (several days now) it is holding.
You might try this somewhat overkill approach.

Incidently I can't get Windows Media Player to work with Safari either
since I upgraded. I think it worked before but don't know as I don't use
it, my daughter did and wanted it.
I am not sure it is updating web pages correctly too, but may be getting
old pages from a cache. This was with pages I check frequently and
change content often.
