No, it doesn't work and I get the same error number.

I can have these entries even if Firefox is not running, just with the FF icon pinned at the taskbar I have these additional entries.

Yes, but now I don't remember where I had to go to turn it on again to test...

As I said above, FF shows these additional options (or "category") even when it is not running, so it has to do it in some other way.
