123127 - "pref.browser.smartbrowsing.disable_textbox.add" should be "browser.smartbrowsing.disable_textbox.add"

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

currently there's a pref called:
user_pref("pref.browser.smartbrowsing.disable_textbox.add", false);
there's absolutely no need to include the "pref" word into a prefs...!

The pref should be renamed to:
user_pref("browser.smartbrowsing.disable_textbox.add", false);

This way the pref will also be located next the the other browser prefs in the
prefs.js file.

btw: I'm CC'ing the people that seems to be contributers to the file where the
pref is used:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpfe/components/prefwindow/resources/content/pref-smart_browsing.xul#70

NOTE: Is the pref actually used????
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/search?string=disable_textbox
seems to only get one hit!

How do you propose we handle backward compatibility?  More code to convert older
profiles?  That seems like code bloat for a name we would like to have aligned
with others.  Is there some end user benefit?
