-### Betterfox Aqua
-#### A user.js for Waterfox
-Just FYI: There are some long-term issues with Waterfox where the browser doesn't load certain internal settings or resets prefs after restart. For examples, see https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/3196 and https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/3947.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> Fork-specific files are side projects and will not update every release. When in doubt, use the standard Firefox user.js.
->
-> This is also a reminder that Waterfox is based on the [Firefox ESR](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-esr-release-cycle) release cycle.
