Details

The text says "changes to this setting will only have an effect on new windows created after making the change." That's true only if you're changing the setting via about:config; if you use user.js like we tell you, it'll apply to every window after you restart Camino. It's important that we have the "new windows" bit documented somewhere for the about:config crowd, but that is probably not the right way or place. I'm not sure what is, though. :(
Well, the text as-is isn't really *wrong*, per se -- in order to use a user.js file, you must quit Camino and re-launch it, and the changes will apply to any windows created on the subsequent launch.

Hardware: Macintosh → All
This is going to be WONTFIX after we switch to officially acknowledging about:config in bug 515807.
Depends on: 515807
Bug 515807 is fixed on stage for 2.0, so there's nothing confusing about the text.
