@ -24,14 +24,14 @@ Here is how it basically works:
* The contents of `prefs.js` override the default values shown in `about:config`
* If a preference in `prefs.js` has a data mismatch, then it is ignored and the ~~default~~ **previous value** is retained (this could be the default or a user-set value set earlier within about:config) and shown in `about:config`
* In `about:config`
* All values stored in `prefs.js`, even if they are the default value, will be denoted as status `user set`. In Firefox 55+ it is denoted as `modifed`
* If you set a value to a `user set`/`modifed` value, it is stored in `prefs.js`
* All values stored in `prefs.js`, even if they are the default value, will be denoted as status `user set`. In Firefox 55+ it is denoted as `modified`
* If you set a value to a `user set`/`modified` value, it is stored in `prefs.js`
* If you reset a value to `default`, it is removed from `prefs.js`
* If you reset a `hidden preference` to default, the value will be blank, and assuming it is not applied again from a `user.js`, it will then vanish on the next about:config reload
tl;dr: firefox starts :arrow_right: user.js active preferences :arrow_right: prefs.js :left_right_arrow: `about:config` .. with caveats
That's a bit to digest, so here is a pretty picture showing a preference with the same value as status `user set`/`modifed` and `default`. In `about:config's` search box, you can use wildcards (e.g `network*policy`) to save time typing, and it is case insensitive.
