Sorry, now I see what you mean. I do find it silly that there is no delete button. Close the browser, then cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/????.default/ (use whatever you have instead of the ???). If you defined a preference which you don't want, say bogus.preference, you will have a line user_pref("bogus.preference", ... etc. in prefs.js. Delete that. Again, the browser must be not running when you do that. Then read the comments to the beginning of prefs.js, with a pointer to how to set up preferences: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#prefs Apparently, we can/should have a user.js file with (extra?) preferences.
