Hi Jesse,

Thanks for the details. I was able to reproduce the bug on Windows 10 ONLY on Nightly 71.0a1 (2019-09-23) (64-bit).

This doesn't reproduce on Release 69.0 (64-bit) and Beta 70.0b8 (64-bit).

I've chosen a component. If you consider that there's another component that's more proper for this case you may change it.

Best regards, Flor.

Could you find a regression window with mozregression, please?

Christoph, looks like more fallout, and it does look like this preference's handling was changed in the bug, so that seems plausible - can you take a look please?

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:
Nightly regression so we should fix this as a P1.
