158495 - pref "ldap_2.servers.history.filename" will not accept filename in path

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 143451

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Kent S.]

The default value for the "ldap_2.servers.history.filename" pref is:

user_pref("ldap_2.servers.history.filename", "history.mab");

This requires that the history.mab file be located in the user's default profile
directory.  I would like to be able to move the history.mab file to my
Briefcase, and therefore need to specify a complete path for the file.  This
pref will not recognize a complete path.

Compare user_pref("browser.bookmarks.file", which DOES allow the user to specify
a path to the bookmarks file, and user_pref("ldap_2.servers.pab.filename", which
DOES NOT accept a path, and has been reported previously as a bug (see
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146803).

The fix for this will be identical with that for bug 143451.  Duping, then
expanding other bug.
