Tor-browser ignores user.js when persisted as a dotfile
Tor-browser honors user.js when created but not when persisted and saved as a dotfile.
Recreation of issue:
User creates a user.js
in /home/amnesia/.tor-browser/profile.default/
User places their custom prefs correctly formatted in the in the user.js file like the prefs.js says
// To change a preference value, you can either:
// - modify it via the UI (e.g. via about:config in the browser); or
// - set it within a user.js file in your profile.
example custom prefs:
user_pref("privacy.prioritizeonions.enabled", true);
user_pref("browser.toolbars.bookmarks.visibility", "always");
User launches tor-browser after creation of user.js in same session and sees that user.js is honored in the changes in about:config
User creates dotfile for user.js in dotfiles persistence
/.tor-browser/profile.default/user.js
User reboots tails and sees that Tor-browser then ignores the user.js dotfile they persisted.
