 Well, the intended behavior is the one you used in the configuration that
 worked. The naive user should not be trying to mess around with these
 settings, and if it doesn't work afterwards, he/she should ask. So, you're
 trying to configure firefox in a way that you know it won't work, so... it
 won't work.
 The idea is not that the regular user comes to an empty configuration
 Vidalia and configures stuff like the browser, the tbb plugin is intended
 for us to configure and give the user ready to run.
