In Preferences > Mail & Newsgroups > Addressesing, Email Address Collection box:
Unchecking "Add email addresses to my:" will not disable address collection.
Opening the preferences again will show the box is checked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. uncheck "Add email addresses to my:" in the Addressing Preferences
2. close preferences
3. re-open preferences

Actual Results:  
The change made did not persist, Email Address collection is enabled.
All addresses are still collected.

Expected Results:  
The "Add email addresses to my:" box in the preferences should have stayed checked. 

No addresses should have been added to my personal address book orcollected
addresses.

I cannot find the corresponding entry in ~/.mozilla/default/hsfks659.slt/
prefs.js to edit manually.
