How can I keep custom settings from being reset?
Hello,
I have placed Decentraleyes' XPI package at /usr/share/firefox-esr/distribution/extensions/jid1-BoFifL9Vbdl2zQ@jetpack.xpi
for automatic installation in new profiles (Debian 9 Stretch), along with other addons.
In /etc/firefox-esr/firefox-esr.js
[1] I have set pref("extensions.jid1-BoFifL9Vbdl2zQ@jetpack.showReleaseNotes", false);
to prevent Decentraleyes release notes from showing up on Firefox startup each time a new profile is created.
However when I run a Firefox profile for the first time, the release notes are displayed.
Looking through about:config
I see that extensions.jid1-BoFifL9Vbdl2zQ@jetpack.showReleaseNotes
has been reset to true
. In ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxx.default/browser-extension-data/jid1-BoFifL9Vbdl2zQ@jetpack/storage.js
there is also a setting reflecting the about:config
value (eshowReleaseNotes":true
).
Somehow Decentraleyes seems to reset that setting to true
when a new profile is first launched. How can I prevent this?
Thanks
