Hi. I've been using Autoconfig for a while and it's been working fine. However, after update to version 69. All of my preferences are reset to default. I tried to re-install but it still doesn't work. I don't know whether this is new policy from firefox or there are some bugs with new version.

Here is what's my autoconfig file and firefox.cfg look like

autoconfig.js

pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg"); pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

firefox.cfg

// IMPORTANT: Start your code on the 2nd line pref("app.update.auto.migrated"; false); pref("media.autoplay.default", 0); pref("media.autoplay.allow-muted", false); pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false); pref("browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash", false); pref("media.peerconnection.ice.proxy_only", true); pref("app.normandy.enabled", false); pref("browser.tabs.warnOnClose", false); pref("browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.snippets"; false);

I see two lines where you used "; false" instead of ", false"

Any error in autoconfig.cfg will throw an exception and about the processing of the file. You can check the Browser Console for error messages.

Thanks so much. I didn't see that mistake.

You're welcome.

I think that in current Firefox releases the Browser Console would display error messages in case of errors.
