Steps to reproduce:
1. Add user_pref("browser.throbber.url", "http://google.com/"); to user.js.
2. Start the browser.
2. Click on the throbber button.

Actual results:
1. You are taken to the default Mozilla site.

Expected results:
1. You should be taken to Google.

This is actually one of several preferences that aren't working when added to
user.js, but do work when added to prefs.js.  I also do know that adding this
specific preference to user.js did work at some point in the past - although
there's no way I could narrow down a regression window on this now.

I was not able to reproduce this bug. Furthermore I cannot think how this might have arisen unless there is a nonprinting character or other error in your user.js which is causing it to get ignored. Perhaps you could attach it here?

Confirming.  This now works in the latest builds.

It occurs to me that the other possibility is that there might have been a (since fixed) preferences backend bug that this is effectively a duplicate of.

I think that would have to be the case - since this was definitely broken when I filed the bug.  (I will have to check some of the other preferences bugs I have in place to see if they're now working or not.)  However, if we can't identify the patch that was checked in that fixed things, this is the correct resolution.
