Because the above is not like including mozilla.cfg from local.js.  It only 
tells FF to use mozilla.cfg which is read and executed at a slightly later 
time during browser startup.  local.js doesn't have access to the API 
mozilla.cfg can use and many things have not yet been set up when local.js is 
read.  AFAIR even the user profile isn't accessible that early.  pref() is a 
different function than what's available as pref() from the profile's 
prefs.js.
