Its not that the settings arent used (they are), they just dont show up
in the preferences dialog. Ive seen this on several machines, one of
which was very recently installed. I've rebuilt firefox several times
with no luck, Ive moved the .firefox and .mozilla directories off
to the side to try new settings, with no luck. Whats worse, is the
settings I do choose are displayed correctly in firefox-bin, just not
compiled firefox.
