When prefs.js is corrupt we copy it to Invalidprefs.js to give the user
a chance to rescue the lost settings manually.

We need to notify the user that there was a problem, something like:
  "Some of your preferences has been lost due to a corrupt file.
   See <URL> for further instructions."
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
"May have been lost"  And there should be an option for disabling this notification (I suspect with some security software, they'd get this a lot).
