Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.6-1
Severity: normal
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537004
While debugging http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=549371 it was
suggested I add some ui prefs to user.js which are listed at
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#ui .
I tried adding the following blocks of settings to user.js but they had no
effect on the problem in that bug. Instead, they messed up the colors of the
application menus and buttons, but had no effect on HTML input element buttons.
/*
user_pref("ui.widgetBackground", "white" );
user_pref("ui.widgetForeground", "black" );
user_pref("ui.widgetSelectBackground", "orange" );
user_pref("ui.widgetSelectForeground", "cyan" );
user_pref("ui.widget3DHighlight", "purple" );
user_pref("ui.widget3DShadow", "darkgray" );
*/
/*
user_pref("ui.menu", "white");
user_pref("ui.menutext", "black");
user_pref("ui.buttonface", "yellow");
user_pref("ui.buttontext", "red");
*/
So I deleted user.js. But the application menus and buttons are still messed
up. So I looked in prefs.js - the new settings that I had previously put into
user.js had been added, presumably because they were not listed with defaults
in prefs.js before.
hed...@maggie:~/.mozilla/firefox/2pofhsv8.default$ grep 'user_pref("ui.'
prefs.js
user_pref("ui.buttonface", "yellow");
user_pref("ui.buttontext", "red");
user_pref("ui.menu", "white");
user_pref("ui.menutext", "black");
user_pref("ui.widget3DHighlight", "purple");
user_pref("ui.widget3DShadow", "darkgray");
user_pref("ui.widgetBackground", "white");
user_pref("ui.widgetForeground", "black");
user_pref("ui.widgetSelectBackground", "orange");
user_pref("ui.widgetSelectForeground", "cyan");
Removing the settings from prefs.js restored the colors of the app menus.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add settings to user.js which have no defaults in prefs.js, verify effects
2. remove user.js
3. try looking at the effects
Actual Results:
Settings input in user.js still apply even after user.js is deleted.
Expected Results:
Settings input in user.js should not continue to apply after user.js is
deleted.

Considering how much of a corner case this is, and considering this is
wontfix upstream, I'll just close this bug.
Thanks
