### :small_orange_diamond: The Solution
The solution is simple. Automate it, and reset **every single pref** in the user.js regardless of whether it is active or inactive. Then restart Firefox and all your ACTIVE prefs are reapplied. The end result being all your INACTIVE ones have been reset.

### :small_blue_diamond: Solution B: Scratchpad Scripts
You can run our [scratchpad scripts](https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/tree/master/scratchpad-scripts), which we have broken down into a handful of smaller, more relevant scripts.
