Yes, it does set network.enableIDN = false, but on startup this seems to
get ignored. What I had to do to disable it (probably a brute hack):
there's a line in ~/.mozilla/firefox/whatever.default/compreg.dat that
reads along the lines of
"{4byteshex-2byteshex-2byteshex-2byteshex-6byteshex},@mozilla.org/network/idn-service;1,,nsIDNService,rel:libnecko.so"The head of the file says "don't edit", but after deleting the above line, firefox wasn't able to resolve the punycode url anymore after a restart.
