By all means, never follow manufacturer's instructions. You wouldn't want to
miss any opportunity to dig yourself into a hole you can't get out of.



Well, I wasn't adding anything to it, just changing 
"mail.preferences.inContent;true" to "false" for Thunderbird, because I 
couldn't see the Config Editor button when in Preferences.


Thought it might be a bug in TB on Linux only, but I later found out it 
was because I used the Unity Tweak tool to change the font text scaling 
factor to 1.25. It's now back to 1.00.

You simply need to use a different user agent string when going to
chase.com.  Add this to your prefs.js:



user_pref("general.useragent.override.chase.com", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows
NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:50.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/50.0");


Never add anything to prefs.js if you're not 200% certain you know what you are
doing and how to undo the damage from a mistake. Either include it in user.js,
or include via about:config. User.js is an optional file that SM will only read,
never write.



"When you launch your Mozilla application, valid preferences you've 
added to the user.js file are automatically copied to the prefs.js file 
(located in the same profile folder) where all user-set preferences are 
stored. For this reason, you should make a backup copy of the prefs.js 
file before you create or edit the user.js file."
