User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ru; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070220 Firefox/2.0.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ru; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070220 Firefox/2.0.0.2

When I write user.js file in following way:

user_pref("dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_move_resize", false);
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "XXX");
user_pref("capability.policy.sibmgr.sites", "http//blah-blah-blah/");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.id", "http://blah-blah-blah/");
user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.granted", "UniversalFileRead UniversalBrowserRead UniversalBrowserWrite UniversalBrowserAccess");
user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", true);
user_pref("browser.formfill.enable", true);

it doesn't work.

------------------

But when I write:

u user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "XXX");
user_pref("capability.policy.sibmgr.sites", "http//blah-blah-blah/");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.id", "http://blah-blah-blah/");
ser_pref("dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_move_resize", false);
user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true);
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.granted", "UniversalFileRead UniversalBrowserRead UniversalBrowserWrite UniversalBrowserAccess");
user_pref("signon.rememberSignons", true);
user_pref("browser.formfill.enable", true);

It works!

-----------------------------

Moreover, I have to restart FireFox 2 times, because after first restart pref.js not changed.

Can you be more specific than "it doesn't work" and provide a minimal testcase?

You're missing a colon in your capability.policy.sibmgr.sites value.

That's ok, Firefox has applied the prefs, just not written them out.
