prefs.js is sometimes rewriten by strange content (for ex. by xterm conf file).
never fully, only partly - mostly begining of file. I think i should happen when
I try to clear disk cache and history. Hope that helps :-) 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. clear disk cache and history
2. restart
3. cry

Actual Results:  
prefs.js has unusual content :-)

Expected Results:  
do not modify prefs.js? :-)

Old version, no response. In the meantime the code has improved to save/write
the prefs. Resolving as WFM.
