Never edit prefs.js
Authored by: stewby on Jun 19, '04 09:28:30AM

Users should always edit user.js (creating it if need be in the same directory as prefs.js) instead of prefs.js. The prefs.js file is overwritten on every quit, so there's no guarantee that changes will stick. user.js, though, is read without ever being overwritten, and overrides anything in prefs.js so is a much better place to make pref changes.
