As I am sure you know, but for those who do not, in about:config:

javascript.allow.mailnews

Set to true.
That won't have any effect. JS in MailNews is gone for good:
<http://kb.mozillazine.org/Javascript.allow.mailnews>

The reason that the pref is still appearing in about:config is that the
relevant patch applies against core code which follows different time
schedules. The pref will be removed from about:config in SeaMonkey 2.1.

I guess this doesn't surprise me. Just one more example of the
interface not being in step with the code...now I can't trust what I
see in about:config or what it actually does either?

Thanks.

But hasn't that always been the case, stretching back into netscape?

I believe that there are some vestigial files as well...........

And that's why I'm not a fan of fiddling with about:config...user
input/control should be provided in user Preference panels - it's one
thing if I come here and get info on a workaround from a knowledgeable
individual, in advance of a forthcoming fix, but as a general, generic
user I should never even have to think about about:config.

Just trying to get people to think before/when they code.


But then, how would a novice user even know that about:config even exists, if not for the advice of a knowledgeable user, or reading a detailed Knowledge Base article?

Seems to me its not exactly the kind of thing one just stumbles upin accidentally.
