Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080325 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.13 Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.12 (20080227) When using MCD autoconfig to set Thunderbird preferences, the DefaultPref() function works as expected with most variables: they can be set to specific defaults and still allow the end-user to change those settings. However, as also described in bug 272970, the function does not affect some settings in the same manner. What's different about app.update.enabled is that it appears to work correctly, with the update setting receiving the specified default value. The end user can change the update setting, but it does not "save" after Thunderbird is restarted; the app.update.enabled setting retains the value specified as its default, regardless of the end-user's choice. Reproducible: Always
Marking this invalid; There were errors in my autoconfig js.
