The chrome directory should be placed in your Conkeror profile
directory, not in the Conkeror source directory.  The profile directory
is the directory that contains files like prefs.js, places.sqlite.  It
will be at:

c:\Documents and Settings\$username\Application Data\conkeror.mozdev.org\conkeror\Profiles\*.default\
