To check whether SeaMonkey loaded all of user.js into prefs.js
successfully, insert
user_pref("00_user.js.loaded", "user.js load failed");
as the very first line of user.js and
user_pref("00_user.js.loaded", "yes");
as the very last line of user.js, all with SeaMonkey not running. Note
that the semicolon (;) is required.
Then, launch SeaMonkey and enter about:config in the address area (URI
bar). You should see
00_user.js.loaded user set string yes
if the entire user.js file was okay. If there was a problem, you will
instead see
00_user.js.loaded user set string user.js load failed
This also works with Thunderbird and should work (but I have not tested
it) with Firefox.

First you say you do, and then you don't.
And then you say you will, but then won't.
You're undecided now, so what're you goin' to do?

That should be Donald Trump's theme song. He obviously
does not understand "commitment", whether it is about
policy or marriage.
