/***
  This will reset the preferences that since FF91 have been
  - removed from the arkenfox user.js
  - deprecated by Mozilla but listed in the arkenfox user.js in the past

  There is an archived version at https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/123
  if you want the full list since jesus

  Last updated: 2-November-2023

  Instructions:
  - [optional] close Firefox and backup your profile
  - [optional] disable your network connection [1]
  - start Firefox
  - load about:config and press Ctrl+Shift+K to open the Web Console for about:config
    - using about:config is important, so the script has the right permissions
  - paste this script
  - if you edited the list of prefs in the script, make sure the last pref does not have a trailing comma
  - hit enter
  - check the Info output to see which prefs were reset
  - restart
     - some prefs require a restart
     - a restart will reapply your user.js
  - [optional] re-enable your network connection
 
  [1] Blocking Firefox from the internet ensures it cannot act on your reset preferences in the
  period before you restart it, such as app and extension auto-updating, or downloading unwanted
  components (GMP etc). It depends on what you're resetting and how long before you restart.
