🟩 Previous: Overrides [To RFP or Not]

🟥 Summary: It's so simple, we do not need one, even for a peacock

🟪 APPLY

If you are not using a new profile, we recommend running our cleanup script, the instructions are in the file

🔹 Put all the relevant files into the root folder of your profile [1]

  • prefsCleaner
  • updater
  • user.js
  • user-overrides.js (which you created)

Continue with the UPDATE part below

[1] To find your profile, open about:support and look for Profile Folder under Application Basics

🟪 UPDATE

  • 🔹 run the updater
    • so the contents of your user-overrides.js is appended to the user.js
  • 🔹 ALWAYS run prefsCleaner
    • make sure Firefox is closed
    • this will reset prefs that aren't needed or can cause issues, as well as keep things clean and tidy
    • you can read more about prefsCleaner next

🟪 MAINTAIN

Arkenfox changes to the live master happen once per release: all changes are done in a separate branch and only merged when finished. There is no guarantee when it is done - hopefully within a week of the Firefox release. Nothing of consequence changes these days that will affect you in that time delay.

So ... once a release ... check for the latest changelog, run the updater, and run prefsCleaner (with Firefox closed)

🟩 Next: prefsCleaner
