150614 - information for startpage changes back to "http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.0/"

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Nestor Ralk]

After upgrade to mozilla 1.0 i coulnd't save information for startpage in
preferences permanently. I had to delete the old preferences in the home dir.
Then it worked for one day. But today the same bug re-appeared: The startpage is
"http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.0/" again. When I enter a different homepage as
startpage it works until i restart mozilla. Then it is again
"http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.0/".

same thing happens with the information concerning the prefered search engine.
after restart of mozilla it switches back to netscape search instead of google
which i had entered

i looked in the file prefs.js. there was a incomplete last line with the
content:user_pref("

The problem disappeared as I deleted that incomplete line. 

The last thing i did before the problem appeared was that i entered information
about my mail account. I think that was the reason though no error message
appeared as I finished the entry

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

reopen only if this bug is still a problem with a *recent trunk build*.
