enforce non-native widget theme

v1.4 (#1189 )
- 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`

earthlng	9018577a3e	v1.4 (#1189 ) - 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`	2021-06-07 11:18:40 +00:00
earthlng	6968b9a369	v3.2 - proper fix for the diff issue - 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	2021-06-06 21:30:14 +00:00
earthlng	ada31d4f50	v3.1 - (mostly) fix diff functionality 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."	2021-06-06 18:01:56 +00:00

Thorin-Oakenpants	cfd7cd01d1	cleanup 0500s, #1170 - they all have on/off switches - dxr no longer exists: update URL - don't recommend users delete files - saves two lines - they poses zero threat (they have prefs) - deleting them can causes unwanted console errors/noise	2021-04-25 11:18:39 +00:00
