I don't think we intended to persist the checkbox selection. Is this part of any story?

It's not 8.1 specific.

Persisting the checkbox states would match desktop Firefox behavior; it's useful for users who repeatedly clear just their cache, or just their cookies, or whatever.

No, It is not specific to story. Story just tells that Metro Firefox should persist every settings.

probably have to save these into the session store. The bigger issue will be that they don't map directly to desktop settings, so we'll need to make a decision there about how to handle that.
