You should start X Terminal and do "leafpad /home/user/.mozilla/microb/prefs.js" to edit the existing prefs.js directly, rather than what you were trying to do which would have wiped and replaced it. Run from the terminal, leafpad can edit files outside of /home/user/MyDocs, but when you use the GUI Open/Save dialogues you can only save within MyDocs or on an SD card.

I had problem with this. This is how I solved it, on the N900:
Made a copy of the prefs.js file, and edited the copy with the lines above.
When I used killall browser, after a while it was running again, but after a restart of the phone, it was gone for a while. So I prepared the terminal with the copy command (cp /home/user/prefs.js /home/user/.mozilla/microb/ ) and typed exit in the terminal (to save the latest commans)
Restarted the phone and went to terminal as fast as I could. UP-arrow two times (to get to my prepared copy command).
Hope this can help someone.

1.) download Leafpad from maemo.org
2.) open terminal x and killall browsers. It said that no processes killed, but did not have a browser open anyways.
3.) open leafpad
4.) typed:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.sip", false);
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.tel", false);
5.) attempted to save to
/home/user/.mozilla/microb/prefs.js
6.) Leafpad says
Field unable to contain /
7.) removed the first / before home but leafpad said the same as it did in step 6
I got stuck at step 6, but still would have gotten stuck at the next step. The step where i would have to open the .js file in terminal x. Please tell me how I would do this. What am I doing wrong? and please put it in a step by step process.
Thanks for any help

PS if I use the user interface to save a file it gives me no folder for home
leafpad /home/user/.mozilla/microb/prefs.js
Then add the lines to the bottom of the file and save.

Thank you all for your help!
@pelago its a good thing that leafpad doesn't let me save the way I was trying. Didn't realize I was about to write over an important file.
MiK546 gave me these instructions, and everything works great now. These instructions correspond with all of yours, but recieved his first. I no longer keep having to play memory games every time I find a # on the web now!
1. Install leafpad (if you haven't already) (sorry, you have to install it, but it isn't big and can be found from Extras trough application manager)
2.Close all your browser windows
3.Open X Terminal and write
Code:
killall browser (enter)
cd .mozilla/microb (enter)
leafpad prefs.js (enter)
4. Now you should be in a texteditor-window. Scroll to the bottom of the file and then paste the following there:
Code:
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.sip", false);
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.tel", false);
5. Save your changes and close the leafpad and Terminal -windows
5a. restart your device before opening a browser.
6.Enjoy!
Thank you all!!!

thanks for the detailed instructions!
I too am new to Linux, and need to have things explained to me in such a clear way, or else I fear I'll break something badly.
If the first poster is still around, you might edit the first post to include the above instructions so that other people won't have to read through the whole thread to find out how to do it!

My problem:
1) open terminal
2) killall browser (no processes killed)
3) sudo gainroot (sometimes changes made in leafpad don't work unless I'm root)
4) leafpad /home/user/.mozilla/microb/prefs.js
5) user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.sip", false);
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.tel", false);
...copied at the bottom of the file.
6) Save
7) Turn off
8) Turn on
9) Check the file again through leafpad as root, changes there
10) Find a phone number in MicroB, not clickable
11) Check file again, changes lost
Why are they not remaining?

I haven't edited prefs.js manually. There is too large potential for misprint.
There is a GUI instead
In MicroB, open page
about:config
Don't be afraid of dragons.
In the filter textbox, type
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.
And set preferences you want to the value you want (false)
Restart MicroB
If phone number in MicroB is not clickable, check in about:config, whether it remembers the preferences.
EDIT: In case a preference you want isn't here, create it (top row in about:config) as Boolean, with value false.
