+// Since we can't access static preference values from JS, this tests relies on
+// assertions in debug builds to detect mismatches. The default and user
+// values of two preferences are changed (respectively) before a content
+// process is started. Once the content process is launched, the
+// preference service asserts that the values stored in all static prefs
+// match their current values as known to the preference service. If
+// there's a mismatch, the shell will crash, and the test will fail.
+//
+// For sanity, we also check that the dynamically retrieved preference
+// values in the content process match our expectations, though this is
