I have the 'not Firefox' string blanked out and put in the 'firefox'
one, but that does not get me the time changing ability.  What I
really don't understand is why this page worked fine in 1.1.18 but
won't work in 2.0.

On a related note, I was told that blanking out a string in
about:config would delete it when SM was closed and i believe this
worked in 1.1.18, but it's not happening with 2.0.  A delete option
here would sure be handy.

Thanks for your help with this.
