That explains it.  Environment variable expansion is not supported there,
though in newer versions of conkeror you can use "~/".

~/.conkerorrc can be either a file or a directory.  If it is a file, that
file will be loaded.  If it is a directory, all *.js files in that
directory will be loaded.

See <http://conkeror.org/InstallationUnix>.  If you really are brand new
to this kind of thing and you don't feel comfortable with command-line
stuff and manually installing programs, then it's no big deal.  If you go

(#conkeror on freenode) and we can help you realtime.
