Sure. For simplified example have only the following in your
user.jsfile:Confirm before closing multiple tabsis checkedbrowser.tabs.warnOnCloseis now falsetrueThe reason is also very simple. Firefox will never write anything to
user.js- thus any changes you do at runtime will only be stored toprefs.js. However,user.jsalways overridesprefs.jsat startup.Understood, thanks. So on a clean install, I’m assuming
user.jsis either empty or missing, correct?Yes. Firefox doesn’t create user.js file itself - if you want one then you need to create it yourself either manually or with some tool. Also, I’ve seen some “security” software create user.js file without notifying the user about it…
