How to unlock/set locked preferences in Firefox-family browsers?
How do you unlock about:config settings which are locked? How do you set them despite being locked?
As an example, Librewolf disables the password manager, which I find silly. However, they also disable your ability to turn it back on.
The `about:config` key appears to be `signon.rememberSignons`. It is set to `false` and greyed out. I tried adding `pref("signon.rememberSignons", true);` to my `librewolf.overrides.cfg` but it is still disabled.
