Why does the user agent reset when the browser closes?

Due to a bug in Sun’s Java plug-in the extension automatically resets the user agent when the browser closes in order to stop the browser crashing on the next start-up. If you are unable to start the browser find the file ‘prefs.js’ in your profile and delete the line containing ‘general.useragent.override’ to fix the issue.
