Did you try this on a new profile, and if so, did you wait enough time for the malware list to be updated in the background? If this test is done on a new profile, it may fail because the list hasn't been downloaded yet, independently from the preference value. So, you should cross-check that the file has been blocked at least once in the profile before, before switching the preference.

Indeed, I used a new profile. On the profile before switching the preference, the file has been blocked. On this same profile, I switched the preference, waited for about 5 minutes and then restarted the browser, the file was blocked again.
Then I started a new profile, and switched the preference. After waiting 5 minutes, the file was correctly blocked.
Considering the information above, the issue does no longer reproduce.
