Introduction



Display a Mozilla Firefox user.js settings file contents in your Firefox browser, with:

* highlighting, links, themes*, re-size, wrap, about:config links/regex/groups

* expanding sections, and index to go to sections (with compatible user.js projects)

* compare preferences in two user.js, in a table format with order/layout options and bold cell border around differences

* actions including: user-overrides.js* append* (with comment-out*), point and click overrides collector, skeleton, prefs.js cleaner*, group by values

* load/save, drag/drop, or copy/paste user.js files (can load from some on-line URLs too)

* functions for find (filter/list)/reset/set on about:config Web Console (Firefox/forks/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey)

* single .html file (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) with no external dependency

* open [userjs-tool.html on-line](https://icpantsparti.github.io/firefox-user.js-tool/userjs-tool.html) or save for off-line use



(*arkenfox/user.js inspired.  Please visit [arkenfox/user.js](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js) and read their info on [arkenfox/user.js/wiki](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki). They also have nice scripts for append/clean/troubleshoot.)



This started as an over the top experiment for learning some HTML/CSS/JavaScript (first released 2019.01.02, compare added 2020.02.22).  This is a viewer/tool, and not an editor/installer.
