preconfigured default preferences

For those who were trying to set a default homepage or other settings
in mozilla (I'm using 1.4), so that new users that run mozilla get the
settings, this post is for you.

I had to edit [mozilla-install-dir]/chrome/US.jar (which is a binary
file) with emacs, and then change the lines in
locale/US/navigator-region/region.properties:

homePageDefault=https://portal.psu.edu
browser.startup.homepage=https://portal.psu.edu
startup.homepage_override_url=https://portal.psu.edu

after that, I had a user with no ~/.mozilla directory start mozilla
and the page that came up was https://portal.psu.edu
