Mozilla browser does not reflect settings configured in mozilla.cfg file unless the browser is restarted. Any workaround available instead of browser restart.
I am trying to configure PAC file url for mozilla programmatically . But when I update a new PAC url in my mozilla.config file it does not get updated in browser unless you restart the browser. This is my problem. Is there any other solution available instead of restart.

The mozilla.cfg file is only read on startup and its content is processed only once during a session. There is no way to make changes to this file with Firefox running.
I don't know if there are proxy related extensions that check the file regularly to see if it has changed. Otherwise you can try to toggle the Firefox connection settings to see whether that triggers a reload.
"Otherwise you can try to toggle the Firefox connection settings" - is there any automated process for it. I need to automate it
