It's strange that your prefs file has the line:
   user_pref("slogger.url", "http://www.kenschutte.com/slogger/");
but the url shows up as 'about:blank'... ?

When saving to a local file, it just takes your $localfile string, here,
"$url-$year-$month-$day-$hour:$minute:$second.$typeext", and replaces 
$<varname> with the preference "slogger.<varname>".  The prefs.js file 
is only updated when you quit FF, so try logging a page, and opening the 
URL "about:config", and look for "slogger.url", and see it's value.  Try 
it when you're loading a page in a single tab, in the foreground.  It 
may also be helpful to run the "Test Slogger variables" profile and look 
at it's output to see what variables seem to be correct/incorrect...
