Seamonkey 2.53.1 on -current: preferences not honored

After the latest update, I notice two user settings that are mis-behaving. One of them is clearing browser history (and other private data) when exiting Seamonkey.

I did *ahem* interrupt the "checking for plugin compatibility" message during the first launch after update, b/c I was trying to look up something for a family member on the phone, so that may have borked the settings temporarily.

However, even after going into Edit/Preferences, un-checking and re-checking every desired box under Privacy & Security/Private Data, including Browsing History, I'm still getting links showing as "visited" immediately after launch. The browsing history is not being cleared at exit.

How would I go about fixing this, without wiping all my preferences?

Is anyone else encountering this behavior?latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=XfF4IHMaNMg:UmcvLE80hcA:F7zBnMy latest?i=XfF4IHMaNMg:UmcvLE80hcA:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=XfF4IHMaNMg:UmcvLE80hcA:gIN9vFwXfF4IHMaNMg
