Hello,

I set up Firefox setting using the mozilla.cfg, and local-settings.js file. Launch Firefox, and everything is the way I wanted it. I exit Firefox, remove Mozilla.cfg, and local-settings.js. Relaunch Firefox and the settings do not hold and the prefs.js file pretty much goes back to default. Somewhere something is still looking for the cfg file and when it does not find it it resets things it appears.

Could anyone point me to where the file lives that I need to edit to allow the setting to keep once the cfg file and local-settings.js are removed to hold the settings originally made in the cfg file?

Thank You in Advance

hi, the autoconfig files are not supposed to be removed - they override the users' preferences set in prefs.js...

What pref function do you use in mozilla.cfg?

These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file: 

defaultPref();	// set new default value, requires special data: format for localized prefs
pref();	// set pref, allow changes in current session
lockPref();	// lock pref, disallow changes

See also Configuration:

You can consider to use user.js in the profile folder to initialize prefs if you do not want to use mozilla.cfg.
