* Installation



To install these you need to find out path to your profile you want to use on

your firefox browser.



To do that:

- type =about:support= in url bar

- search for =Profile Directory=

- copy the profile path

- run =chmod u+x ./install.sh && ./install.sh =



#+begin_src shell :tangle install.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash



__script_path="$(realpath $0)"

__script_path="${__script_path%/*}"



__profile_path="$1"



if [[ -z ${__profile_path} ]]; then

    printf "You need to specify your profile path!\n" 1>&2

    exit 1

fi



# Link chrome folder



if [[ -d ${__profile_path}/chrome ]]; then

    printf 'Moving "/chrome/" -> "/chrome.old/"\n' 1>&2

    mv -f ${__profile_path}/chrome ${__profile_path}/chrome.old

fi



printf 'Linking "/chrome/" -> "/chrome/"\n' 1>&2

ln -s ${__script_path}/chrome ${__profile_path}/chrome



# Link user.js



if [[ -e ${__profile_path}/user.js ]]; then

    printf 'Moving "/user.js" -> "/user.js.old/"\n' 1>&2

    mv -f ${__profile_path}/user.js ${__profile_path}/user.js.old

fi



printf 'Linking "/user.js" -> "/user.js"\n' 1>&2

ln -s ${__script_path}/user.js ${__profile_path}/user.js
