* :!: IPv6 is disabled in order to prevent WebRTC from grabbing an IPv6 address even though NetworkManager has it disabled
* :!: ''media.peerconnection.enabled'' disables WebRTC
* :!: ''layout.frame_rate'' needs adjusted for displays with a refresh rate higher than 60Hz ((go to Help -> Troubleshooting information (or ''about:support'') and check ''Target Frame Rate''))
rm -fv '/tmp/user.js' && nano '/tmp/user.js'

==== Apply Settings ====
* ''Path'' should report the current user's username, and the text ''Custom Stuff'' should be visible
* :!: If Firefox doesn't open automatically, ''firefox -p default'' must be ran the first time Firefox is started after this command
ls '/tmp/profiles.ini' '/tmp/user.js' && pkill -f 'firefox' && rm -Rfv ~/'.mozilla' && sync && mkdir -p ~/'.mozilla/firefox/'$USER && mv '/tmp/profiles.ini' ~/'.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini' && mv '/tmp/user.js' ~/'.mozilla/firefox/'$USER'/user.js' && sync && cat ~/'.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini' | grep $USER && cat ~/'.mozilla/firefox/'$USER'/user.js' | grep 'Custom Stuff' && sleep '1' && sync || firefox -p 'default'
