Details

the problem I'm seeing in ns6.2 and mozilla is that prefs.js file is not being
rewritten to disk on using the application 'x' close button..[which I use all
the time to close mozilla] but will write to disk on File->Exit.

:reproduceable always.. 

just click on 'X' close button and see in your profile directory that the
prefs.js is not been modified/rewritten after shutting down all open mozilla
windows.

:expected results:

prefs.js file should be rewrite upon unloading Mozilla/ns6.2 from memory on all
windows being closed clicking on the application 'X' close button
Since you reported bug 109018, I suppose you start mozilla with -P for choosing
a profile.
I believe that what you describe is a side effect of bug 108383 too.
If you start mozilla without the -P and choose you profile in the profile
manager dialog, your prefs will be read on start and written on exit.

Feel free to reopen the bug if you disagree.

 And doesn't with -P option.
