I was looking the HelloAMD example and didn't see the example pref
code in HelloWorld. That looks like exactly what I need. It seems the
big part I was missing was putting my preferences in a subdomain under
the extensions.firebug pref domain. (Before I had them under the
extensions.myExtension domain.)
Thanks Honza!
