RAS compatibility with 'Privacy Settings' add-on

[cygvis]

I'm not very familiar with Firefox, how add-ons with similar settings act with each other, or how to check for conflicts... but I kinda want to say these two aren't being friendly with each other. Maybe I'm crazy… but it seems like one or the other (maybe the last used by user) is changing various privacy settings, even if they're altered in the other one.

First, do FF add-ons do this? Or does the last modified add-on claim authority over those settings, etc? If not & you're interested, please let me know of some ways I might test this so I can share findings with both developers.

Every addon modifies some entries in the about:config page. Some addons modify entries previously handled by other addons, or add new entries that override previous ones.

Or does the last modified add-on claim authority over those settings?

Yes. If you use many addons, check how they interact. For your topic, install privacy-settings first, then install RAS. Then ignore the agent entries in privacy-settings and use RAS instead for that.

Any easy way to watch the about:config page for changes?

Edit: Found it in Finder & can compare with textwrangler.

I'll try that, thanks
