Check the permission and ownership of the file:
	.mozilla/default/<random-string>.slt/prefs.js

Mine looks like:
-rw-rw-r--    1 ken      ken          2729 Aug 22 09:22 prefs.js

I'd also check the contents of prefs.js are actually getting updated.

	[ken@byteme 6yt1x7sr.slt]$ grep "warn_submit_insecure" prefs.js 
	user_pref("security.warn_submit_insecure", false);
	[ken@byteme 6yt1x7sr.slt]$
	<launch mozilla and change the preference>
	<run the above command again>
	<close mozilla>
	<run the above command again>

HTH.
