Hmm.

This must not apply to Mozilla?  I am running mozilla 0.98 and I grep'd for 
browser.tracking in /usr/lib/mozilla/* and $HOME/.mozilla/* and turned up 
nothing.

In fact, I did not find an all-ns.js file and the directory structure is as 
follows:

{mozilla directory}/defaults/pref/

Suggestions?
