Reset these pref (context menu in about:config) and restart, them should be gone, they just still present in your custom settings, it is not recognized by newer Firefox. If the prefs be removed from the about:config in newer Firefox, this may result to unexpected changes when the user switches back to the older version. Bug 1140495. Bug 1119250.
