Firefox tweaks

Overview

These settings are mostly cosmetic and privacy related.
I don't believe in changing "performance" settings. If they were beneficial, Firefox would ship them by default. Most of the time, they cause more harm than good.

Update files via script

1. Create a new Firefox profile from about:profiles using a unique string. For example, mine is "loganmarchione".
2. Use either the Windows or Linux commands below to download my files to your machine. Change the $string variable as needed.

Windows (run via PowerShell)

# The special string that our profile contains
$string="loganmarchione"

# The full path for our profile that contains that string
$basedir = Resolve-Path "$env:appdata\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.$string" | Select -ExpandProperty Path

# URLs of files to get and their output locations
$userjs_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loganmarchione/Firefox-tweaks/master/user.js"
$userjs_out = "$basedir\user.js"
$userchrome_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loganmarchione/Firefox-tweaks/master/userChrome.css"
$userchrome_out = "$basedir\chrome\userChrome.css"

# Create directory for "chrome"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "$basedir\chrome"

# Download the files
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $userjs_url -OutFile $userjs_out
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $userchrome_url -OutFile $userchrome_out

Linux (run via bash)

# The special string that our profile contains
string="loganmarchione"

# The full path for our profile that contains that string
basedir=$(find ~/.mozilla/firefox -name "*.$string" -type d)

# URLs of files to get and their output locations
userjs_url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loganmarchione/Firefox-tweaks/master/user.js"
userjs_out="$basedir/user.js"
userchrome_url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/loganmarchione/Firefox-tweaks/master/userChrome.css"
userchrome_out="$basedir/chrome/userChrome.css"

# Create directory for "chrome"
mkdir -p "$basedir/chrome"

# Download the files
wget -O $userjs_out $userjs_url
wget -O $userchrome_out $userchrome_url
