this is because 0.9.7 may not correctly read previous profile pref.js 
settings.. using a new profile however has fixed a lot of perfs. that 
didn't work correctly before.  Mozilla is (testing software) Its not 
finally release so this just one of many things that has changed between 
milestones, and many more will follow.. So dont be alarmed with this. 
Profile migration is an easy task here to get a new one up and running.

again, always a reason to create a new profile.. this fixes alot of 
problems for most people.
