So I was able to learn something really neat about firefox. Apparently you can create a user.js file that will have all your about:config settings. I wanted to export my settings from my old profile, but could not. I exported all my bookmarks though. (Perhaps should have exported profile?)

If you go:
pancake -> Help -> More TroubleShooting Information -> Profile Folder: Open Folder you get a file manager pointing to your profile directory. Here you can create a user.js to house your settings. Such as:

user_pref("widget.non-native-theme.enabled", true);
user_pref("widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style", 3);
user_pref("widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override", 15);

This makes the scrollbar stay and I can control style and width.

    Also, user.js is javascript so you could write a js program to do more interesting things I suppose. Not sure what it can do in that context.

    @Demolishun we all know that it‘s a fake name, it‘s just funny how spammers try to use those tricks. Nobody would use their real name in some random internet forum or social network in their first post.

    @retoor Chrome is shit, Edge is MS Chrome shit, Brave is Chrome shit. Is Firefox the last big browser that doesn't completely suck?

    @Demolishun I live in my stash. I don't hide it under my matras. I hide my matras under it. It's always snowing at retoor's home. I love winter sporting. I walk the line.
