[Bug 1010362] [NEW] History on preferences reverts to use custom settings for history instead of never remember history

[John]

Public bug reported:

In Firefox preferences, the history reverts each time to use custom
settings for history instead of never remember history.  I'm using
Firefox 13.  I expect the history setting to remain on never remember
history instead of use custom settings.
