Whenever I select the "forget browsing history", if I select two hours or 24 hours, the 5 min radio button highlights then the browser closes and reopens. Why won't the radio button stay on two or 24 hours? latest 46.0.1 installed, this has always happened since the "forget browsing button" was introduced.

I don't think that this choice is stored as persistent data that survives a browser restart and thus gets lost once this widget is destructed when you close Firefox.
