Controls the visibility of the "Options>Privacy & Security>Site Data" section.
I'd prefer to remove this completely because it only adds to the confusion about all the different storage types.
This is just an extension for localStorage (2705) with 3 methods: estimate(), persist() and persisted(). A site can ask for permission (?) to persist data which when granted basically just means that "Storage will not be cleared except by explicit user action" whereas otherwise when not persisted "Storage may be cleared by the UA under storage pressure." - I don't see a problem with that.
We'll keep 2706 inactive for now but might remove it in a future commit.

- It can now handle read-only files.
- it is somewhat more explicit regarding what it's doing in some circumstances. For example, it now informs the user when no changes are made.
- It now accepts two parameters: `-unattended` and `-log`
- Minor improvements here and there.
Sorry, but AFAIK, with this enabled it clears web extension storage when clear "offsite website data" is checked on close or manually (which we do in the user.js). Note also that even with this enabled, the UI settings are disabled, and the data-on-disk calculation never finishes, so at this point, its a bit useless to enable it until we figure that out. Will be back in 7 days
this should now work no matter how the script is called (including symlinks) on both Mac and Linux.
+ Storing and restoring the original working directory to prevent problems in certain circumstances.
"Push and web notifications require service workers, which in turn require workers." - this is clearly not (or no longer) true. See #256 where workers are disabled, but service workers enabled, and service workers create IDB entries on Youtube
this is a linux only pref, does nothing in Windows or Mac, as per tagging convention => [LINUX]. Here's a 15 year old ticket - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160200 .. enjoy! PS: Trying to find an autocopy text (excluding form fields) that auto trims, auto removes multi-spaces, auto trims, and auto removes double blank lines .. I had one, but its legacy. Best I can find is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/autocopy-webextension/ - a wee timer in options lets you control when you copy (that's ok), but it gives a notification every time which is annoying as f - anyone got any ideas
- In FF55 (windows) this no longer changes both prefs, only `layers.acceleration.disabled`
- `gfx.direct2d.disabled` => inactive (I do not think it is used much if at all anymore - do a DXR search)
