Looking into bug 1991846 it seems like SpecialPowers.pushPrefEnv will cause change notifications for all prefs given to the in-set, regardless of their previous state.

My understanding would be that during normal operations we expect to get a notification only for real changes and there seems to be code that silently relies on this (like _RFPHelper._handleLetterboxingPrefChanged).

Of course there might be also tests that rely on getting those extra notifications.
