HI, I have a xulstore.json file with custom settings that are normally copied by Firefox from the directory ".\browser\defaults\profile" to the new created User Profile directories. But this does not work anymore since a Firefox update. :-( Does anyone know how I can implement these settings now from the xulstore.json file? { 

 "chrome://browser/content/browser.xul" : {
   "main-window" : {
     "sizemode": "maximized"
   },
   "toolbar-menubar" : {
     "autohide": "true"
   }
 }

}

I try to hide the Firefox Menu Tool Bar and Maximize the Firefox Main Window by default for all new created User Profile. All this is for an Unattended installation.

Hi, maybe wrong but still think it would have to be done now as usserChrome.

I need to do this settings in Firefox v52 and the userChrome.css option is for Firefox v57+. And even with the userChrome.css file i would be still stuck at the same problem because it wouldn't be copied into the new created User Profiles like the xulstore.json file.
