668845 - preferences must be in order to be processed correctly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Preferences: Backend, defect)

Description

[Joel Maher ( :jmaher ) (UTC -8)]

in order to support:
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p1.granted", "UniversalPreferencesWrite UniversalXPConnect UniversalPreferencesRead");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p1.id", "http://localhost");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p1.subjectName", "");

in a prefs.js file before the first start, these preferences must be in the order above.  If they are out of order the "capability.principal.codebase.p1.id" will not be there once Firefox is running.

I can't reproduce this -- I just tried several different orders and things worked the same every time. And I can't think of any reason why the implementation would care what the order was. So I will close this.

jmaher, please reopen if this is still a problem.
