Firefox

Created a new snowblock that adds support for Firefox (1) and Firefox
Developer Edition (). It includes…

* …the `user.js` (3) file to define and persist almost all preferences
for a profile.
* …the `profiles.ini` (4) file to configure the name and path of the
main profile `igloo`.
* …the `ignore-dev-edition-profile` file to fix Bugzilla bug 1098986 (5)
that causes Firefox Developer Edition to use the internal default
profile regardless of whether another customized profile has been set as
default. The problem can be fixed by creating the file within the
Firefox application data folder.
* …the `chrome` folder with the `userChrome.css` (6) and
`userContent.css` (7) files to change the Firefox's UI components design
and elements within the content.
* …the `containers.json` file of the Firefox Multi-Account Containers
(8) to persist the configured containers.
* …the documentation about the setup, tips & tricks and various
configurations.

More information and additional references:

* pyllyukko/user.js (9) - Firefox `user.js` configuration file for
Mozilla Firefox designed to harden browser settings and make it more
secure.
* ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js (10) - An ongoing comprehensive user.js
template for configuring and hardening Firefox privacy, security and
anti-fingerprinting.

+# Firefox (Developer Edition)
+
+This snowblock for [Firefox][] Quantum and [Firefox Developer Edition][firefox-dev-edition] provides…
+
+* …the [`user.js`][mzkb-user.js] file to define and persist almost all preferences for a profile.
+* …the [`profiles.ini`][mzkb-profiles.ini] file to configure the name and path of the main profile `igloo`.
+* …the `ignore-dev-edition-profile` file (placed within the Firefox application data folder) to fix [Bugzilla bug 1098986][bugzilla-1098986] that causes Firefox Developer Edition to use the internal default profile regardless of whether another customized profile has been set as default.
+* …the `chrome` folder with the [`userChrome.css`][mzkb-userchrome.css] and [`userContent.css`][mzkb-usercontent.css] files to customize the Firefox UI components design and layout and elements of websites.
+* …the `containers.json` file of the [Firefox Multi-Account Containers][firefox-addon-multi-acc-cont] to persist the configured containers.
+
+## Configurations
+
+### Typeface
+
+Due to licensing and the availability of specific font families on different operating systems the preferences for the default sans-serif and serif typefaces must be configured manually using the Firefox UI (_Preferences_ → _General_ → _Language and Appearance_ → _Fonts & Colors_ → <kdb>Advanced…</kdb>) or by setting the following keys to the desired font family names:
+
+```js
+/* Linux */
+user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-western", "<FONT FAMILY>"); // e.g. "Roboto"
+user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "<FONT FAMILY>"); // e.g. "Noto Serif"
+
+/* macOS (default font families) */
+user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-western", "Helvetica");
+user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "Times");
+```
+
+The default font for the monospace typeface is system independent and has already been set in the [`user.js`][gh-igloo-sb-ff-user.js] to [Source Code Pro][google-font-source-code-pro]:
+
+```js
+user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-western", "Source Code Pro");
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Ignore the default Firefox Developer Edition profile
+
+Due to a [bug in Firefox Developer Edition][bugzilla-1098986] only the default profile will be used regardless of whether another customized profile has been set as default. The problem has been fixed by creating a [`ignore-dev-edition-profile`][gh-igloo-sb-ff-ignore-dev-profile] file within the Firefox application data folder:
+
+```sh
+# Linux
+touch ~/.mozilla/firefox/ignore-dev-edition-profile
+
+# macOS
+touch ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/ignore-dev-edition-profile
+```
