Something similar happened to me in Lenny when using Iceweasel (now still
with Lenny but on Firefox 11), that some of the privacy settings did not
stick despite I manually enabled the checkbox. As I finally removed the
stock Iceweasel (3.0.x) I forgot about it.
What could you try to restore the functionality?
- Manually set the value from "about:config"
- Test with an empty profile

Mmm... I'm not sure, but it could be due to a corrupted "*.sqlite"
database file.
