// Documentation .............. :
// ==============================
//
// "Section" : Description of the settings section separated by "----"
// "Bench Diff" : Impact on the performance of firefox can be a gain or loss of performance
// +100/5000 stand for 2% gained performance and -1500/5000 stand for -30% performance loss
// Performance can be tested here : https://intika.github.io/octane/
// "Pref" : Preference/Settings name and or description followed by links or documentations
// and some time explanation why the setting is commented and ignored.
// "lockPref" : Locked preference can not be changed on firefox, nor by extensions, can only be changed here
// lockPref is used to lock preferences so they cannot be changed through the GUI or about:config.
// In many cases the GUI will change to reflect this, graying out or removing options. Appears
// in about:config as "locked". Some config items require lockPref to be set, such as app.update.enabled.
// It will not work if it set with just pref.
// "pref" : Sets the preference as if a user had set it, every time you start the browser. So users can make changes,
// but they will be erased on restart. If you set a particular preference this way,
// it shows up in about:config as "user set".
// "defaultPref" : Defaulting : Is used to alter the default value, though users can set it normally and their changes will
// be saved between sessions. If preferences are reset to default through the GUI or some other method,
// this is what they will go back to. Appears in about:config as "default".
// "clearPref" : Can be used to "blank" certain preferences. This can be useful e.g. to disable functions
// that rely on comparing version numbers.

// IDB is required for extensions and Firefox internals (even before FF63)
// To control *website* IDB data, control allowing cookies and service workers, or use
// Temporary Containers. To mitigate *website* IDB, FPI helps (4001), and/or sanitize
// on close (Offline Website Data, see User Settings : History settings) or on-demand (Ctrl-Shift-Del),
// or automatically via an extension. Note that IDB currently cannot be sanitized by host.
// IndexedDB could be used for tracking purposes, but is required for :
// twitter and many sites, some addons, old version of uBlock, session manager in certain cases
// This is mitigated with addons and sanitize settings
// IndexedDB is a low-level API for client-side storage of significant amounts of structured data,
// including files/blobs. This API uses indexes to enable high-performance searches of this data.
// While Web Storage is useful for storing smaller amounts of data, it is less useful for storing
// larger amounts of structured data. IndexedDB provides a solution. This is the main landing page
// for MDN's IndexedDB coverage — here we provide links to the full API reference and usage guides,
