infos/description = storage plugin for mozilla preferences

This plugin works on Mozilla preference files and is used in Elektras Firefox autoconfig script.

Preference Types

Default preferences: pref(...., keys below mountpoint/pref/.
User preferences: user_pref(...., keys below mountpoint/user/.
Lock preferences: lockPref(...., keys below mountpoint/lock/.
Sticky preferences: sticky_pref(...., keys below mountpoint/sticky/.

Only Keys below one of these points are valid, everything else will be dropped

Data Types

integer
string
boolean

Hierarchy

In Mozilla preference files . is used to separate sections, while elektra uses /. For simplification, and because / isn't allowed in preference keys, the plugin treats . and / equally.

kdb set system/prefs/lock/a/lock/key lock
kdb set system/prefs/lock/a/lock.key lock
kdb set system/prefs/lock/a.lock.key lock

will all result in lockPref("a.lock.key", "lock");

Example
