When Marionette sprouted the ability to tweak Firefox profile preferences, it do so with the side effect mentioned in bug 1030442 comment 3, which is that it starts up and shuts down a browser before running actual functional tests.

In order to make functional tests run faster, it'd be wonderful not to do that.  :-)
Whiteboard: [affects=loop]
Bug 1164124 introduced set_prefs(). You might want to use it to set preferences if the new preference values do not require browser restart to work.
In bug 1238562, we've just switching to using set_prefs (although we still do a separate restart due to installing an add-on, and changing one pref that probably does require a restart).

I think that's enough to call this WFM.
