Claude, I'm no FF expert, but I'm sure people have said before that you have 
to use the FF address line to set these preferences.  You know, something 
like the about: settings.  Sorry I can't be more specific.  It has definitely 
been said that for FF you *have* to make the change there - it ignores 
anything else.
