I'm going to try to go back and recreate. Wordpress is also giving me fits. Nice. So it appears at some point in the past, a lot of code sections on my site got mangled and completely disappeared.

I'm trying to set it, tell me if I understood right : The about:confifg page being disabled by CCK extension, the user won't have the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris preference set, so if I set it into C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\extensions\ExtensionName\defaults\preferences\cck.js (in my case firefox-cck.js) all users existing and coming alike will have this preference set to what I decided? Thanks for the answer!

It should just add the new preference. The preferences are not set programmatically, they are included in a JS file that is bundles with the addon (defaults/preferences/cck.js). So they should happen no matter what. If the user has customized the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris preference, the CCK will not override it. Are you trying to lock it or just set it?

Any idea of what I could do to fix this, and also understanding how and when does the the extension generates settings, once, once per FF session, once per user profile creation? Thanks in advance for your precious help :) Hi,
