At least in the standard (binary distribution) Windows build of Mozilla 
1.0 the bug is even worse in that once you've properly set 
network.enableIDN to "false" and restarted Mozilla, about.config still 
shows the value of network.enableIDN as "false", even though the 
browser is now actually running with IDN support.
