No, and unfortunately there was nothing documented about that. After reading of what was changed in my prefs.js file, I could find more information (via Google) about this new feature and how to control it: http://aldarone.fr/desactiver-pdf-js-dans-firefox/ (this is in French). > AFAIK the policy only talks about not overwriting modified system-wide > configuration files marked as such in the .deb, not per-user dotfiles; The policy is rather vague and per-user config files seem to follow the description of "configuration file". > and I don't think it guarantees that default settings are never > changed if a new feature is introduced.
