LibreWolf/patches/pref-pane/README.md

overview:

• This folder replaces the original big pref-pane.patch, the original patch is moved into the patches/removed-patches folder.
• This new solution should make it much easier for everyone to edit the librewolf preferences.

librewolf.inc.xhtml

Contains the html elements that make up the preferences UI. for example, a checkmark to 'enable firefox sync'. In this example there is a html snippet that uses only the identity.fxaccounts.enabled setting, so no JavaScript needed.

librewolf.js

Other code called by the ui elements.

preferences.ftl

In our running xhtml example, we have a string id data-l10n-id="librewolf-sync-checkbox" that we can find in our.ftl file.

note: new files, these contain all the logic for the pref-pane:

• category-librewolf.svg -> browser/themes/shared/preferences/category-librewolf.svg
• librewolf.css -> browser/themes/shared/preferences/librewolf.css
• librewolf.inc.xhtml -> browser/components/preferences/librewolf.inc.xhtml
• librewolf.js -> browser/components/preferences/librewolf.js

note: appending these string values to the original preferences.ftl:

• preferences.ftl -- append to --> browser/locales/en-US/browser/preferences/preferences.ftl
