  Something quite strange with your setup.  os2pref.dll is the only file of
that name on my 4.61 install.  prefs.js will not be recreated on startup as
it is a system file that I was warned should be edited with great care, as
any corruption will stop NS working.  (p.s. did you ever - edit?)

  I don't have a 4.40 on my system any more as the testing showed 4.61 to
be far superior from a feature and stability view.  However, I can't
remember 4.40 asking for multiple user setup - so I suspect that there
shouldn't be a user directory.  So,

  1) why bother with 4.40 reinstall 4.61
  2) DON'T EDIT prefs.js with anything other than EPM.  (I added the
     user_pref("toolbar.logo.frames",8); to mine without it complaining.
  3) if u want to retain your setup, maybe get a new perfs.js from a
     working system - I'll willingly send you mine (4.61)
  4) retain your user files and reinstall from the download archive, then
     see if perfs.js is recreated - may be a leftover from an aborted 4.61?
     or a previous 4.40 install to different directories (did you move it?)
  5) confirm categorically that there is a perfs.js on a working 4.40
     install.  Mine has a bunch of path specific statements so be aware
     that they will not transplant easily.  I assume that the file is
     created at install time using install values.

  Hope this helps and you don't feel that the suggestions are too trivial
