The preferences are not saved immediately, even after closing the Preferences window. If you make a force quit (or a crash), the changes will be lost. Build 20020621 16:08
what's up with pref saving? Is this still an issue?
Assignee: saari → bnesse
A quick scan of Chimera indicates that neither ReadUserPrefs nor SavePrefFile are being called directly. At a minimum, this would indicate that the prefs are not being saved after pref panel changes. As a prefs.js file exists in the user profile, I assume that the file is being read and written via support in the embedded libraries.
then i guess we need to force a pref save after the pref window goes away rather than relying on it being saved when the app quits. that goes for both user defaults and mozilla prefs.

made it so that we write out the prefs when the window closes. we don't need to do this for every pref panel, I don't think.
