[Bug 259914] [NEW] prefs in ubufox extension override system prefs

[Jason Gunthorpe]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubufox

This is quite annoying, we cannot customize system wide settings via the
prefs in /etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js if they are overridden by

/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/extensions/ubufox at ubuntu.com/defaults/preferences
/ubuntu-mods.js

Since the extensions are loaded after the system preferences.

The most significant of these for us would be the 
pref("network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris", "https://");

Setting. I want that to be our domain not https:// and it is impossible
to change via the system wide configuration due to the override in
ubufox.

Please move all the pref overrides out of an extension and put them in
proper pref files loaded before the system pref files.

 *** 0.5-0ubuntu1 0
