I am using Debian (squeeze/testing). I have installed the iceape browser and
composer suite. I have configured preferences in /etc/iceape/prefs/base.js as
follows:

// Disable java
lockPref("security.enable_java", false);

// Get rid of plugin warning dialog
lockPref("plugin.default_plugin_disabled", false);

// Disable addons
lockPref("xpinstall.enabled", false);

// Proxy server settings
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.ftp", "test.markhobley.yi.org");
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.ftp_port", 9999);
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.gopher", "test.markhobley.yi.org");
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.gopher_port", 9999);
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.socks", "test.markhobley.yi.org");
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.socks_port", 9999);
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.ssl", "test.markhobley.yi.org");
lockPref("network.proxy.backup.ssl_port", 9999);
lockPref("network.proxy.ftp", "test.markhobley.yi.org");
lockPref("network.proxy.ftp_port", 9999);
lockPref("network.proxy.gopher", "test.markhobley.yi.org");
lockPref("network.proxy.gopher_port", 9999);
lockPref("network.proxy.http", "test.markhobley.yi.org");
lockPref("network.proxy.http_port", 9999);
lockPref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, markhobley.yi.org, 127.0.0.1, 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/8");
lockPref("network.proxy.share_proxy_settings", true);
lockPref("network.proxy.socks", "test.markhobley.yi.org");
lockPref("network.proxy.socks_port", 9999);
lockPref("network.proxy.ssl", "test.markhobley.yi.org");
lockPref("network.proxy.ssl_port", 9999);
lockPref("network.proxy.type", 1);

When I run the browser, none of the above settings seem to have taken effect.
When I use the about:config facility to view the browser settings, the
preferences all appear to be at default values.

Has anyone else experienced this?

The iceape version is 1.1.17 and has build information as follows:

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.22)
Gecko/20090605 Iceape/1.1.17 (Debian-1.1.17-2)

Are you sure that's the right location? My iceweasel, icedove, and
iceowl each use /etc/{APPLICATION}/pref/{APPLICATION}.js, so I would
have expected (ha!) iceape to use /etc/iceape/pref/iceape.js.

I'm not sure. That file was initially created by the Debian installer and
contained comments that it was the configuration file.

Yeah. I use iceweasel on other machines, and I copied the configuration
file from /etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js

I'll try a rename to see if that fixes it.

Nahhh. That didn't work either. I have filed a bug against the browser.

strace(1) or maybe ltrace(1) ?
