The History Module overrides persisted preferences before they load

[timbl-ont]

Description of problem

The history module saves preferences before they are loaded from storage. The net effect is that all the preferences are reset to default options. For example Biometrics preferences are lost each time the wallet is restarted.

Expected behavior

Persisted preferences are recovered when the wallet is restarted

Steps to reproduce

• enable the history module
• enable biometrics authentication
• restart the wallet
• User is presented with only a PIN login
