Now I see that all.js file is opened on a different folder since 1.7.2 on linux.
it used to be in MOZILLA_HOME(here /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.3/)/default/pref, now
it's in MOZILLA_HOME/grepref/ .
The problem is that this directory is by default only readable by root (700), so
users on my stations that use mozilla autoconfig (general.config.filename
directive in all.js) don't get the autoconfiguration set anymore :-( .

A workaround is to set grepref directory to 755, but is this safe ?
Second question, where should I but general.config.filename directive in the
future (default/pref/all.s or grepref/all.js ?)

thanks.

PS: I will update my mozilla autoconfig doc in consequence ...
