There were 2 checkins on December 16th for bug 132517.  The first checkin broke
things so that the prefs.js file was never saved if there was no prefs.js file
to start with (like when you have a new profile).  This was corrected by a
subsequent check-in later in the day.  However it appears that the 0.8 branch
was cut between the 2 checkins so the 0.8 branch has the broken code.

This code:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=137552&action=view

needs to be applied.

Reproducible: Always

Flags: blocking0.8?
Confirmed with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b)
Gecko/20031217 Firebird/0.7+
An alternative solution would be to back-out the earlier check-in for bug 132517
from the branch.

The way it is now is seriously broken.
