about:config in Thunderbird

Top tip: to access about:config in Thunderbird, open the Options dialog, set your Thunderbird State Page to chrome://global/content/config.xul and then click Go | Mail Start Page. (Just setting it to "about:config" doesn't work.)

This isn't working for me. Are you sure these are the only steps necessary?

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird Version 0.8 (20040913)

IIRC config.xul hasn't been included for some time now.

I'm filing a bug to put it back in, and get a button to launch it... I'll cc you Gerv.
