+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1382649 +++

STR originally filed in bug 1382649 comment 33.

1. Set dom.ipc.processCount.web to 2 in Nightly
2. Go to Preferences, uncheck "use default performance"
3. Set the process count to 4 with the UI (4 is the default dom.ipc.processCount value in Nightly)
4. Reload the Perferences page

Expected:

1. process count set to 4

Actual:

1. process count flip to "2 (default)"

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Follow up fix to bug 1382649, which was incomplete.
Unfortunately, I cannot verify my tests at home because of bug 1252976. Try run is scheduled on MozReview. I did manually verify the patch with STR above.

Please use a object as the argument to the function so we can have "named parameters".

updatePerformanceSettingsBox({duringChangeEvent}) {
  ...
}

Then the calling code would be:
this.updatePerformanceSettingsBox({duringChangeEvent: true});

I was meant to link to bug 1384153 in comment 2, thanks for spotting that.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/Bug causing the regression]: Incomplete fix in bug 1382649
[User impact if declined]: On Beta, user will see their process count revert to value set by e10s rollout if they set the process count value to 1.
[Is this code covered by automated tests?]: Yes.
[Has the fix been verified in Nightly?]: Not yet.
[Needs manual test from QE? If yes, steps to reproduce]: See STR in comment 0 but set process count to 1 on step 3.
[List of other uplifts needed for the feature/fix]: None.
[Is the change risky?]: No.
[Why is the change risky/not risky?]: Localized. Only as risky as bug 1382649.
[String changes made/needed]: None.

Patch for beta strips the test case change in in-content-new since the feature is disabled on 55.

(In reply to Tim Guan-tin Chien [:timdream] (please needinfo) from comment #0)

Noted to verify this bug on Beta branch, in step 3 of the STR in comment 0, you would need to set the process count to 1.

Sorry, didn't mean to flip that. Tim, should we let this ride 56 given comment 15?

I am pretty sure it's reproducible... Did you check comment 9? The STR is slightly different, and it just a reduced steps from bug 1382649 comment 33. which you have reproduced.

Yes, you are right! With scenario from comment 9, it is reproducible on Beta 55.0b13. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
