Quitting while having the preffs window open, doesnt save any preffs changes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open preferences.
2. Change something.
3. Quit.

Actual Results:  
Preferences arent saved.

Expected Results:  
Camino should save preferences on quit, not just when closing the
preferences-window.
sounds like a regression from some of the pref shutdown landings lately.
Target Milestone: --- → Camino0.9
I guess we try to save the prefs too late.

Taking. The problem is that the MVPrefsController never releases its grip on its
embedding reference, so the XPCOM shutdown notification is never sent out.
