Firefox doesn't keep settings from about:config

Since a update a few weeks ago Firefox doesn't seem to keep settings done in about:config. I noticed this for example because I use a changed dpi setting
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx=1.5
After an update this was reset to -1.0. Changing this to 1.5 again however works only temporarily. After restarting Firefox the setting is gone.
What may be wrong here and how can I fix it?

Are you changing the setting through the about:config web interface or by editing a *.js file directly? If you're doing the former and the settings aren't sticking, your profile could be corrupt.

You can edit the prefs.js file in the Firefox profile folder with a plain text editor like Notepad and remove the line with the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref or change the value to 1.0
user_pref("layout.css.devPixelsPerPx", "1.0");

Thanks, I manually added the key to my user.js and now it seems to work after a reboot. Maybe you could include this information explicitly into your answer then I can accept it.
