- remove 2720
- this is a very old pref, been inactive since at least our first github release: v51
- disabling the API is not how you control client side state: you do that by blocking cookies which also controls other state such as IDB etc
- 2700 section header
- history/downloads is redundant
- Offline Website Data info -> relevant item number with Active Logins info
- ^ technically it still includes appCache for ESR78 users, but that will be moot in less than three months
- tidy RFP
- update to FF91 userAgent spoofing: there is no Android ESR so we don't need to mention "Android 9"
- we don't need to say if the API is enabled for mediaDevices
- the service implies a check is done first, I'm more concerned with the actual updating: not that updates are bad, it's about controlling when (if ever e.g. my test suite)
- since 0301 has to be done manually in Windows, 0302 is a good fallback **IF** the background service is applicable (read the link)
- clean up the numbering
- "enforce" is for when we set the default value
- use [WARNING] for inactive (they're inactive for a reason and people really do not need to turn them on) but less scary [NOTE] for active (tweak away at your own risk)
- seems neater, easier and less scary for users setting up the first time: i.e they only need to initially look at active items
- FYI: I was going to add something to LSNG (2760) that it is required for Fission, but will wait, and it struck me that 2680 was the only active item with a warning: seems inconsistent
- 2684: security delay .. make enforce mean enforce (default) ... not worth occasionally saving .3 seconds
- for now it's one less item in differences/flips
- might make this inactive in 91+, and add a warning
- it has been a very long time since we added this due to bad advise/references on the internet on how to speed up Firefox
- add -s parameter to start immediately / skip prompt / run non-interactive
This is useful if the user wants to automate the process of updating the user.js and cleaning prefs.
- fQuit: error messages to stderr
- fFF_check: info msg to stderr
Better support for suppressing/redirecting stdout while still showing any error messages in the console, useful for example with `prefsCleaner.sh -s >/dev/null`
- re-arrange the match patterns to fix the remaining issue of dropping lines after the 9999 block
- make it work on Mac too
- use `|` where possible so we don't need to escape the forward-slashes. That saves a few bytes and makes the pattern easier to read
see #1188
this should fix the issue that "All prefs after a multi-line comment declaration, on a single line, are deleted with the remove_comments function from the updater."
