My spouse and I are the only two users on our laptop, a Lenovo R61. The
laptop OS is Lenny (still), and the version of Iceweasel is 3.6.26 from
Lenny-backports.

In my spouse's privacy preference window "never remember history" is
selected.  This preference is stable; it is never changed except by
deliberate human action.

In my privacy preference window however, whenever I select "never
remember history" and close that window, Iceweasel will never let me
keep it.  If I open that window immediately after I close it -- or
whenever I close Iceweasel and reopen it -- the selection will be
changed to "use custom settings for history", with the following boxes
checked:
        "automatically start Aceweasel in a private browsing session"
        "accept cookies from sites" and
        "accept third party cookies"

As far as I can figure out the "never remember history" setting and the
"use custom settings for history" with those boxes checked have the same
effect.  I nevertheless find it strange that in the circumstances
described by spouse can use the "never remember history" setting;
whereas I cannot.

Does anybody have an explanation for this behaviour?

Regards, Ken Heard
