Please keep an eye on this. We are seeing some weird non-determinism
crop up all over the place wrt prefs. It is possible that it is
because we are using user_pref() calls as opposed to pref() calls in
our version of prefs.js, and there is some race condition or other
failure in a preference observer that is causing some of the prefs to
randomly fail to apply:
