06bfef8fd1 extensions.formautofill
add migrated prefs for completeness - see comment in d040b95ed2
2022-08-23 17:33:55 +00:00
d040b95ed2 also reset the prefs migrated to
.supported also hides/shows the UI. There is no need for this, it is overkill (and users might never be able to work out how to get them back). The .enabled prefs are enough to toggle the checkboxes IF they show based on .supportedCountries (which relies on browser.search.region)
