With this installation method, if you change any of `user.js` settings through [`about:config`](http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config) or Firefox preferences dialogs, they will be reset to the `user.js` defined values after you restart Firefox. This makes sure they're always back to secure defaults when starting the browser. However this prevents persistently changing settings you don't consider appropriate. Either edit `user.js` directly, or use the system-wide installation method described below.
