what builds are you running? please use a non-hacked user agent when filing bugs
so we can tell.

I'm using Version 2005061608 (0.9a1) but have seen it with a variety of older
ones the past minth or so.

I used the website on Bugzilla so I don't know what you mean by hacked user agent.

Sounds like you set this pref in your user.js file. That would explain why it
would be there on a restart. Try looking at that file in your profile folder and
remove anything suspisios.

OK, I found that line in he user.js file.  The file had a Safari icon. I opened
with Text-Edit Plus, changed false to true and no the camino preference stays
put through quitting and opening

I meant to say that after changing flase to true, the preference now stays changed

that line should not be in user.js. remove it entirely.

Should I just trash the whole user.js file and let it make a new one if it needs to?

user.js is for prefs that you always want set a particular way, regardless of
changes made in the UI. if there's nothing else in that file that you want, you
can toss it.
