Script Loader

Based on this project by ardiman: https://github.com/ardiman/userChrome.js 

Additionally based on the modified files by Endor8: https://github.com/Endor8/userChrome.js/ 


Copy from this projects \script_loader\profile\ folder userChrome folder and userChrome.js file to \ PROFILENAME \chrome\ folder.

Copy from this projects \script_loader\firefox\ folder defaults folder and config.js file into Firefox main directory (where the Firefox executable is; or on macOS, inside the main executable, at /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/). 

Edit userChrome.js file to add custom scripts!

With Firefox 62+ and Thunderbird 68+ an additional preference pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false); has to be set inside config-prefs.js file. This is considered less secure by Mozilla and is only a temporary workaround, but at the moment it is the only way to run custom scripts using "method 2". 

Script/startup cache must be deleted after every change!

Where to find Firefox startupCache folder?

This is not the same 'profile' folder custom scripts and styles are stored in!
