- Search string made case-sensitive, because Firefox preferences are. - The script now uses regex, which allows it to understand `user.js` files formatted using single quotes, spaces and/or tabs in `user_pref` lines. Trade-off: it can no longer reset preferences that include some special characters in their names. Not an issue for now, just something to remember. See full discussion [here](https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/pull/321). |

ghacks user.js
The ghacks user.js is a template, which, as provided, aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage (but it will happen).
Everyone, experts included, should at least read the implementation wiki page, as it contains important information regarding a few ghacks user.js settings.
