AFAIK, getPref() will always be available unless you modified the code in some way or defined a broken/non-existent custom prefs backend. > (I know: browsing with lynx is not the usual way, but for debugging it's > enough) > > This server runs Linux kernel 2.6.21.5 and Apache/1.3.37 (Unix) mod_ssl/ > 2.8.28 OpenSSL/0.9.8b PHP/5.2.3, the other servers run older PHP > versions. > I have just updated one of the other servers to Apache 1.3.37 and PHP > 5.2.3 - has no influence.
