v3.6 
hi @earthlng, some small additions that 'might' help with [](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/1587)). Thank you.

in version 3.5 if you run updater.sh with sudo then: (1) user.js may only be readable by root and not load for the Firefox user (2) if the script is run first time with sudo, then again without sudo, permissions from the previous run may cause issues (eg no backup or update of user.js) with little or no warning.

Therefore v3.6 to: (1) set some file/dir permissions (on those created) if run with sudo (2) show info if some access permissions are not as expected (3) added some further error messages

🟪 user.js

A user.js is a configuration file that can control Firefox settings - for a more technical breakdown and explanation, you can read more in the wiki

🟩 the arkenfox user.js

License: MIT

The arkenfox user.js is a template which aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage (but it will happen).

Everyone, experts included, should at least read the wiki, as it contains important information regarding a few user.js settings.

Note that we do not recommend connecting over Tor on Firefox. Use the Tor Browser if your threat model calls for it, or for accessing hidden services.

Also be aware that the arkenfox user.js is made specifically for desktop Firefox. Using it as-is in other Gecko-based browsers can be counterproductive, especially in the Tor Browser.
