Why does Firefox set network.protocol-handler.expose.(protocol) to "true" on every start?
I want to make FF open "file://"-links with the Windows Explorer. It works if I set "network.protocol-handler.expose.file" to false and "network.protocol-handler.external.file" to true. But "network.protocol-handler.expose.file" is missing in about:config after a restart. So i've set it in my user.js. Now I can see the variable but its always set to true no matter what stands in my user.js. Why is FF overriding my config?

Try Locking preferences .
thank you
That should be OK.
Firefox should store the protocol settings in the mimeTypes.rdf file.
