I tried this but it did not work.
First, I found my prefs.js in

~/.mozilla/zender/a4lk0swo.slt/prefs.js

It contains a warning that it is a generated file.
Sure enough, when I quit and restart mozilla, the changes
I made manually are no longer there. What's the trick to
making changes manually so they stick?

Thanks,
Charlie

P.S. Why are my personal mozilla files in such a strange directory?
On another machine where I have mozilla installed, the personal files
are in

~/.mozilla/mozProfile

which seems to make much more sense.
