Erm... maybe you should not have done that. Please try this, and copy
the output from your terminal and paste it into a reply to this email.

: Step 1a; MOZILLA_PREFS=`find .mozilla/ -type f -name \*prefs.js |
sed -e '/firefox/d' -e '/thunderbird/d'`
: Step 1b; FIREFOX_PREFS=`find .mozilla/firefox/ -type f -name \*prefs.js`
: Step 1c; THUNDERBIRD_PREFS=`find .mozilla/thunderbird/ -type f -name
\*prefs.js`

: Step 2a; grep print "${FIREFOX_PREFS}"
: Step 2b; grep print "${THUNDERBIRD_PREFS}"

: Step 2c; sed -i.bak -e 's|^\(.\+print.\+\)$|// \1|' "${FIREFOX_PREFS}"
: Step 2d; sed -i.bak -e 's|^\(.\+print.\+\)$|// \1|' "${THUNDERBIRD_PREFS}"

: Step 2e; grep print "${FIREFOX_PREFS}"
: Step 2f; grep print "${THUNDERBIRD_PREFS}"

: Step 3a; grep print "${MOZILLA_PREFS}"

: Step 3b; grep print "${MOZILLA_PREFS}" | tee -a "${FIREFOX_PREFS}"
: Step 3c; grep print "${MOZILLA_PREFS}" | tee -a "${THUNDERBIRD_PREFS}"

: Step 3d; grep print "${FIREFOX_PREFS}"
: Step 3e; grep print "${THUNDERBIRD_PREFS}"

: Step 4a; firefox &
# Exit Firefox
: Step 4b; grep print "${FIREFOX_PREFS}"

: Step 4c; thunderbird &
# Exit Thunderbird
: Step 4d; grep print "${THUNDERBIRD_PREFS}"

That is likely why you are seeing squares instead of characters. But
we'll come back to that in a little while.
