I'm running testing/unstable, mostly testing (apt.conf says
"APT::Default-Release "testing";" but I have some unstable packages).

It's not too big a deal. When I middle-click in a Firefox window and
nothing happens, I know right away how to correct it.
The bizarre thing is that this is (as far as I can tell) the *only*
customized behaviour that gets reset to the default.
Same thing happens to me, and just did yesterday when I updated. It IS annoying, but, as you say, easily fixable (although I do it through Edit, Preferences rather than in about:config).
