162609 - Losing my preferences

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 193638

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Rafael Ebron (:rebron)]

I get the following erro line 102:SyntaxError: unterminated string literal. 
user_pref ("wallet.cryp ......

I download Mozilla from home via (Dell Laptop), set up my browser preferences, 
dock at work, undock (but I don't let Windows 2000 close all the way), I log 
back in at home and I get the following error message, lose ALL my preferences 
including bookmarks.   

This started happening on the trunk 3-4 days ago, and Jaime had said that some 
preference bug was getting fixed.  Was that checked in only on the branch, 'cuz 
I'm losing all my preferences here and it sucks using the dailies.

Still happening on trunk builds.  To see this happen, shut down windows by using
power button on computer (i.e. don't let Windows 2000 close the "right" way).

By the definitions on <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html#severity> and
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided>, crashing and dataloss
bugs are of critical or possibly higher severity.  Only changing open bugs to
minimize unnecessary spam.  Keywords to trigger this would be crash, topcrash,
topcrash+, zt4newcrash, dataloss.

no dupe, bug 170539 is a complete loss of the preferences while this is a
corrupt pref. 
Mozilla stops reading all prefs after the faulty line.
