>Description:
	Sunbird creates prefs.js in mode 444.  This makes it impossible to
	change preferences.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Do 'rm -rf ~/.mozilla/sunbird', fire it up, and check the permissions
	on ~/.mozilla/sunbird/*.default/prefs.js
>Fix:
	To bypass the problem, do
	chmod +w ~/.mozilla/sunbird/*.default/prefs.js
