FWIW, I can reproduce this on Win10, but not on OSX.

Last month I encountered this problem is because of Bug 1364852. Since javascript error, the script won't be executed fully.

Mmm, this is weird because we are not doing immediately dynamical update. 
The timing of updating list are refresh about:preferences or reopen about:preferences or performing deletion operation.
The reason not doing that is due to performance concern and some uncertain cases on ux.
