Before Firefox 60, the autoconfig file (.cfg file) could register an observer for "profile-after-change" (so as to change things such as the default search engine), like this: 

   Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
   Services.obs.addObserver(observer, "profile-after-change", false);

This no longer works (the first line fails outright). Is there a new way to register such an observer in an autoconfig file?

If you check the Browser Console then you will likely notice a message that "Autoconfig is sandboxed by default" (bug 1479857).

A possible workaround for now is to add a line in the autoconfig.js file disable this feature.

  • pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);

Note that this pref might be removed in future Firefox versions.
