[Bug 247281] [NEW] ubufox preference defaults cannot be redefined by admins in syspref directory (/etc/firefox-3.0/pref)

[Alexander Sack]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubufox

ubufox preference defaults cannot be redefined by admins in syspref
directory (/etc/firefox-3.0/pref).

In fact, its a firefox bug firefoxs load order should not do 1. package, 2. /etc/ 3. extensions, 4. profile, but 1. package, 2. 
extensions, 3. /etc/, 4. profile. 

This might be too hard to fix, so we should look into providing hooks in
ubufox that allow admins to overwrite the online/offline homepages:

 ubufox.online.homepage - if defined, use this setting
 ubufox.offline.homepage - if defined, use this
 ubufox.always.offline - always use the offline page

Note: those prefs cannot have a default in ubufox because of the ffox
bug referred to above. So they will be hidden prefs.
