Re: [orca-list] quoted text in thunderbird

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Where is/should be the file user.js located?

I have searched the tree containing the executable as well as the 
.mozilla and .thunderbird directories in my home directory, and I cannot 
find the file.

Thanks,

dave
