It was change to false by default some time ago, try disabling the ubuntu add-ons, and safe mode, and then try mozregressions.

I think it is a dup of 660447 but *not* a dup of 337061. It does it every time the browser is launched (behaviour unrelated to having upgraded firefox, which 337061 is about).

I confirmed that disabling the ubuntu add-on extension "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.9.5" solves the issue, then setting the state to true does persist across browser launches.
