I've placed my favorite user_prefs in a file named user.js.  I keep a copy 
of this outside the mozilla tree. Each time I load a new mozilla, I copy
this back into the dir with the prefs.js.

Mozilla will read this file after the prefs.js, overriding any contradictory
stuff in prefs.js.  Mozilla will not write to this file, so you can't change
stuff in it via the preferences dialogs.  Mostly, it's good for stuff 
that's not in the preferences dialogs, like the popup protection, etc.

:>Is there a way to start a new build the first time after migrate with

That's a general mozilla question, and a good one.  CSS is often used
for Evil Purposes by web designers - the most common is specifying fonts
too small to be read by human beings.  I swear these guys must be using 
40 inch monitors in 800x600 resolution.  It would be good to be able to 
easily turn off CSS to defend against such heinous practices.

The font-minimumsize deal addresses the font issue - there are others.

Supposedly, user-side stylesheets can correct this kinda stuff, and they're
supported by Mozilla - but who has the time/expertise to hack out a 
user-side stylesheet? 

There should also be a pref that makes the url entry field solely a url
entry field.  I don't want magical and inexplicable keyword expansion. I
don't want to be whisked off to some search site based on some criteria
that I can't predict.  If I want to use Google, I'll go there myself.

I want that damned field to accept a url, and attempt to connect to the
url I typed, and not try to second-guess me. I'm sick and tired of being
surprised by my web browser - the damned thing should do exactly what I
tell it to AND NO MORE!
