 +==== Environment Variables ====
 +
 +  * Enables hardware acceleration, smooth-scrolling, and EGL
 +  * :!: WebRenderer requires the previous ''MOZ_ACCELERATED'' variable as well
 +
 +  echo -e 'export MOZ_ACCELERATED=1\nexport MOZ_WEBRENDER=1\nexport MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1\nexport MOZ_X11_EGL=1' | sudo tee '/etc/profile.d/firefox-hwaccel.sh' > '/dev/null' && cat '/etc/profile.d/firefox-hwaccel.sh'

 +
 +==== user.js ====
 +
 +  * Last updated: 2021/04/02

 +  * :!: ''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''))

 +==== 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'
