Hi and welcome,
Let me add a quick reply to a part of your original post that wasn't really part of your problem, just a side-comment.
If I'm not mistaken, the only security feature (as opposed to convenience features) in the Pro version missing from Home is the script-blocking protection. And most browsers these days offer some kind of equivalent anyway, either built in or available as an add-on (NoScript for Firefox, for example).
Best,
Mike
