Hi, Jon,
Interesting that these pages never came up when I was searching for
preferences stuff using google. It is valuable information. The
user.js file should be mentioned somewhere on the about:config page I
think, to help people having problems. I don't remember ever setting
this file up myself, so the next question comes, where did this file
come from? I will have to see if I can find the source of the user.js
file. Maybe a new round of Google will help.
I struggled with this stupid problem for many days before I resorted to
asking the list.
I have had a really bad month from mid Dec to mid Jan with all kinds of
electronics failing. I have replaced at least 6 major pieces of
electronics, all with issues, from this stuff here to Windows 7
(re-vista maybe?) to remote controls failing (car, garage door, TV, VCR,
and DVD player.) If I have seemed a bit scrambled, it is because the
electronic gods are blowing my fuses.
Regards,
Les H
