Oh, this explains a lot. I'm not crazy after all!
Gecko needs a Services.prefs.savePrefFile(null); call for the prefs to saved to disk.
(In reply to Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) from comment #2) > Gecko needs a Services.prefs.savePrefFile(null); call for the prefs to saved > to disk. Can we just do this on each "Preferences:Set"? That's what we do each time a pref is modified in about:config and seems like an easy solution.
