It works as advertised (for Linux AND Windows.) I found the problem I was
having was that I had left some comments in. Apparently comments starting with
# will cause Mozilla to abandon the rest of the config file.

If you must use comments, use the C style of comment. ie:
/* Comment */
or
/* Multi
    line
    comment
*/

Also, I was able to completely leave out the general.config.vendor and
autoadmin.append_emailaddr settings. No rights changes to the install dir or
subdirs were required.

The config online can be a cgi/php,etc. script or just a simple config file. My
preference is to use a cgi/php so laptop users can have a different config when
using their system while off site.
