After running this configuration tool, it will proactively look for the Firefox browser installed in the system, which automatically finds the directory where the configuration files are stored. If the configuration tool does not find the location of the Firefox browser, it may be because the user is using a green version of the Firefox browser. You can click the button in the prompt box to specify the location of the browser's main program file in the pop-up browsing window. If you still do not find the location of the configuration file, click the "Open Profiles" command on the "File" menu so that you can manually specify the directory in which the configuration file is located (Figure 1). Finally click on the "OK" button, the Configuration tool will display all the parameter information in the file.

In addition, because of the large number of Firefox browser parameters, in order to avoid the user confusing the meaning of the parameters, you can also use the parameters of the commonly used to enter a section of relevant information (Figure 3). When all the configuration actions are complete, click the "Save User.js" command on the "File" menu to save it, and then restart the Firefox browser.
