We may have a regression from the patch from Bug #456872.

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.setIntPref]"  nsresult:
"0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://global/content/bindings/preferences.xml :: set_valueFromPreferences ::
line 335"  data: no]
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/tabbox.xml
Line: 571

This was logged in error console when I switched tabs within the Advance tab of
Options dialog. Each tab switch generated two entries. The Line: xxx of
tabbox.xml changed, but the errors all point to preferences.xml Line 335

Updated to 20081012 build and reconfirmed

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Options Dialog to the Advance tab
2. Check error Console, no errors yet.
3. Switch tabs in Advance tab
4. Check error Console, two errors logged
Actual Results:  
Each tab select logs two errors in the Console

Expected Results:  
No errors from selecting tabs. 

These errors appear to be related to the addition of the new Reading&Display tab
