The question wasn't dumb; I was dumb for not checking the syntax.

One additional point: it appears you must delete the XUL.mfl file BEFORE 
                opening Mozilla.  Otherwise the change to prefs reverts 
back.

It's working great now!

The default cache should not be in the \Documents and Settings\user 
name\Application Data\Mozilla\profiles\Default\9iyxxxxx.slt anyhow.

Requires special handling when doing backups.  e.g., can't simply backup
\Doc and Settings\*.* etc. without backing up the cache.  And who wants 
to waste media and time backing up caches.

IE handles this easily in tools.

Boy it is painful trying to use Moz's composer.  The damn curser is in 
the wrong place.  Line wrapping gets stuck when there is a space at the 
end of a line.  No spell checker, etc.

Mucho thanks.....................
