/*** This will reset the preferences that have been - removed from the arkenfox user.js - deprecated by Mozilla but listed in the arkenfox user.js in the past Last updated: 5-May-2022 Instructions: - [optional] close Firefox and backup your profile - [optional] disable your network connection [1] - start Firefox - load about:config and press Ctrl+Shift+K to open the Web Console for about:config - using about:config is important, so the script has the right permissions - paste this script - if you edited the list of prefs in the script, make sure the last pref does not have a trailing comma - hit enter - check the Info output to see which prefs were reset - restart - some prefs require a restart - a restart will reapply your user.js - [optional] re-enable your network connection [1] Blocking Firefox from the internet ensures it cannot act on your reset preferences in the period before you restart it, such as app and extension auto-updating, or downloading unwanted components (GMP etc). It depends on what you're resetting and how long before you restart. ***/ (() => { if ('undefined' === typeof(Services)) return alert('about:config needs to be the active tab!'); const aPREFS = [ /*
