it's not always possible to delete a pref (it is only possible if there is no
default value). "Reset" does what you want, though; afaik. remaining issues are
bug 193332, marking dup.

In this case, the option has no default value. The steps were:

- See that no general.useragent.override item exists.

- Add a general.useragent.override item.

- Use reset to try and delete it - in this case "reset" does not delete the
item, it only sets it to blank, ie "send no user agent string at all".

ok. I think that's exactly what bug 193332 is about.
