Comment (by gk):

 FWIW: We got reports on the blog that `disableRange` is still enabled in
 the alpha series after updating from 8.0a8. I guess the pref we flipped is
 kept because it is essentially a user set pref. I think we should try to
 get that solved as part of this patch: on the alpha series we should try
 to (re)set the behavior we want again.
