# UserChromeScriptLoader thing

only tested on firefox 110.0 (64-bit)

## to install you unzip and add some symlinks to the firefox installation

> at `C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox`(or where firefox is installed)`\defaults\pref`

> 

> a new hardlink `config-prefs.js`

> 

> (windows commands example) providing you are in the diriectory for this git

> ```bat

> mklink /H "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\config-prefs.js" ".\config-prefs.js"

> ```

> note that this one is a hard link as firefox checks for symlinks and ignores them for some reason so to get it to work you can use a hard link

> at `C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox`(or where firefox is installed)

> 

> a new symlink `configRJ1.js`

> 

> (windows commands example) providing you are in the diriectory for this git

> ```bat

> mklink "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\configRJ1.js" ".\configRJ1.js"

> ```

> at `C:\Users\`[username]`\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox`

> 

> a new symlink `RJAutoConfig.json`

> 

> (windows commands example) providing you are in the diriectory for this git

> ```bat

> mklink "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\RJAutoConfig.json" ".\RJAutoConfig.json"

> ```

> at `C:\Users\`[username]`\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox`

> 

> a new directory symlink `RJAutoConfigFiles`

> 

> (windows commands example) providing you are in the diriectory for this git

> ```bat

> mklink /D "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\RJAutoConfigFiles" ".\RJAutoConfigFiles"

> ```

## how it works

the `config-prefs.js` registers the `configRJ1.js` file as a file to run on startup then that loads the `RJAutoConfig.json` and finds the files in the `RJAutoConfigFiles` directory and runs them
