You get this error message when there is a .js (local-settings.js) file in the "defaults\pref" folder that specifies to process the mozilla.cfg file, but the mozilla.cfg isn't found.

Did you make sure that the mozilla.cfg doesn't have a hidden .txt file extension?


You can use the mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to set or lock preferences and run privileged JavaScript code.

A local-settings.js file needs to be placed in the "defaults/pref" folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:

defaultPref();	// set new default value
pref();		// set pref, allow changes in current session
lockPref();	// lock pref, disallow changes

The mozilla.cfg file needs to start with a comment line (//).
