I think this is expected behavior because private window uses off the record profile.
Tor window is same as private window. It also uses off the record profile.
Do we also want to retain shields settings on tor and private window? @bsclifton

I feel like the actual bug here is that global settings are accessible from private windows, not that changes aren't persistent?

Closing as a duplicate of #1373

I'll update the issue text there to include when a public site setting doesn't exist (in which case it should inherit from the global one)
