user.js is in the profile root directory, same as prefs.js.

Only if you have one. As you know, not all users do.

For example, I have no such file anywhere on my computer, never have.

user.js is not installed with the distro, it is installed by the user
afterwards .. if necessary. I use it to make changes where I need to
have a history as well as a date that a custom pref was added.

Yep. So the first thing to tell people, if you recommend modifications to user.js, is to create one -- as you did in your post of 8/6/2012 at 6:12 PM US EDT.

But NFN Smith wrote, "It's the same directory as your user profile," as if it existed by default, and I found that confusing (Philip Taylor seemed to as well). And your reply above, to which I replied, implied the same confusing assumption.

Since the user documentation does not mention the file, a link describing the format and syntax would be helpful in these cases. Harmut's link upthread to <http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file> is a good start; if you have something better to recommend I'm sure users would welcome it.
