user.js IS read by Chimera
Authored by: frankko on Nov 07, '02 10:32:50PM

Interesting. My user.js file works. I took the following line from my Mozilla prefs.js file and added it to a newly created user.js file in my Chimera profile folder:

user_pref("dom.disable_window_move_resize", true);

It prevents sites from moving and resizing the current browser window (if it isn't obvious). Going to a site that tries to resize the browser window shows that, on my system, the user_pref is working. Quitting Chimera 0.6 and changing true to false, restarting Chimera, and going back to that site, the browser will resize.

So, for me, at least, user.js works fine.

I wonder if there is something that's keeping it from working for other people? I'm using 10.2.1. Chimera 0.6. I created the user.js file in BBEdit (Unix line breaks).

Ok, you're right.

user.js is read by Chimera.

BUT it only reads user_pref() lines, not pref() lines, which is why I thought it wasn't working before (I was using favicons to check, and the posted way to enable them in bookmarks was with pref() instead of user_pref() )

However, the weird thing is, when you run Chimera and quit it, the user_pref() lines in user.js get copied to prefs.js, so you can put them in user.js, run Chimera, quit, and delete user.js and your prefs still exist!
