Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go into about:config

  2. Find browser.sessionhistory.max_entries

  3. Try to change it (for example, to a small number like 1000 to reduce memory footprint)

Actual results:

The user-entered value is ignored, overwritten by a newly-generated seemingly random large number such as 55450

Expected results:

This seems to be a regression of Bug 406160.
