I installed a user.js script to my profile, and even after deleting the file itself, the settings keep changing to what it wants, despite the file being deleted.
I've been troubleshooting this for a few hours now, and i surmise it got embedded in my firefox account somehow, because when i close firefox in task manager i can see a bunch of firefox processes doing stuff for about 30 seconds, and if i launch firefox again after that my browser is messed up.
In window's firewall i set a rule to not let firefox send and receive packets and while a block on receiving didnt do anything, the block on firefox sending data did prevent it from applying that fking user.js script. However, if firefox cant talk to websites its obviously useless, so im stumped.
I have deleted every single folder on my computer firefox uses, including cleaning the registry of its things aswell, so it has to be downloading that script from some server, but i havent been able to figure out from where. I assume its attached to my firefox account because, where else could it be getting the script from?
When i was installing the user.js script, i had no clue it would be so damn hard to get rid of. Thank fuck i have a backup of my profile.
