Bug Summary

Reproduction Steps

1. Open Floorp Settings.
2. Go to "General".
3. Go to section "Perfomance" and click on "user.js Settings..."
4. "Apply" a desired user.js profile and restart Floorp as prompted.
5. Check the active Floorp Profile Folder, which can be found via the URL "about:support".
6. Search for the applied user.js file which should be present for overwirting the settings.

Expected Behavior

• Applied user.js should be louded to the Floorp active/primary Profile Folder to apply its settings to Floorp.

Actual Behavior

• The user.js file is not present in the Profile Folder after doing the described steps to reproduce this behaviour.

Additional Context

• Maybe this behaviour is normal or intended, but it in this case it would be interesting how the user.js settings are applied to Floorp.

Ever since i began using Floorp last year, that's also been the case for me, & it's always really confused me. Also, in the Settings UI after trying to apply a js then later reloading the page, i can see no visual confirmation at all that any of those user.js is actually active. :woman_shrugging: :exploding_head: ArchLinux KDEPlasma.

Now, in 11.17.4, the user.js finally does appear in the profile directory, so this is definite progress :+1:

However, the actual Settings page about:preferences#userjs continues to give no visual indication at all that any user.js is active. That still seems a strange design decision to me :woman_shrugging:

I am very grateful that it was solved so quickly. The developer certainly is very busy, and we should wait for Floorp 12 (Rapid/Stable Release) as announced and not start too many more feature requests in the current ESR version in my opinion.
