Why does this have to be curl | sh if there’s a checkbox in the settings for this specific setting? Do you value your privacy so much that you’re ready to run arbitrary script directly from internet?
- prmoustache 2y agoOTOH the script is 2 lines long and perfectly readable/understandable.
- spinningslate 2y agoThe site covers all bases. The content of the script is shown on the landing page - and you have to visit it to see the instructions to run it. The comment also explains how to do it through through the configuration UI. That means you have 3 choices: * Use curl to run the script as directed * copy/paste the command line content, edit if desired, and run * follow the instructions to update through the UI.

- olejorgenb 2y agoIt annoys me that Firefox removed the ability to link directly to a setting in `about:config`. I'm almost certain this was possible before.
