Header Tool not started on Browser start (ON / OFF setting issue)
Header Tool 0.6.1. and previous versions do not start on Browser launch. It neglects the ON/OFF setting.
Have to go manually through the Sidebar F4 -> OFF -> ON sequence to enable Header Tool after Browser launch.
The issue appears to lie in the line 173 of the ff-overlay.js file, i.e. "this.preferencies.setBoolPref("onoff", false);". Being programming-illiterate I'm sure there's a better fix, but I've just changed it to "true" and now it's always active on every browser launch.
The problem is when the plugin start is not able to access to it's own preferences like it's accessing to a wrong context. The fix you propose it's a workaround so instead starting with the always off setting the default to on in case of exception. Do you have the console logs for the exception handled?

On latest Palemoon, browser console shows up nothing Headertool related at start nor during toggling sidebar.
On FIrefox 38, opening or closing sidebar shows two errors:
- DEPRECATION WARNING: toggleSidebar() is deprecated, please use SidebarUI.toggle() or SidebarUI.show() instead (...) chrome://browser/content/browser.js 7682 toggleSidebar chrome://browser/content/browser.xul 1 oncommand null 0 null
- NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsITaskbarTabPreview.invalidate]
Continuous JS toggling doesn't show anything on console, but it doesn't seem to change anything in about:config.
I've also noticed strange behavior concerning the on/off buttons of the headertool sidebar - button "off" turns off the initial "true" state (after the workaround I've used), but every other time it does nothing and "on" serves as a toggle between true and false (so pressing off and then on toggles it just once); this happens both on Firefox 38 and latest Pale Moon.
