Remember Tor 'Security Level' setting on Tails : Tor | Torhoo darknet markets

Hi there, and apologies if the question has already been asked.

I'm using Tails and have been quite annoyed by the fact that the Security Level setting is set to 'Standard' each time I turn my laptop on and start Tor. Of course, one only needs to switch it to Safest, but I tend to systematically forget to, to a point where I get the 'Javascript enabled' warning on some DN website.

Is there a way to make the setting persistent ?

Disclaimer: I see many users that would like to modify their Tails implementation. While there may well be good cause to do so, I'm of the opinion that to gain the most that Tails has to offer it's best used without modification. If modifications must be made, do so in line with Tails best practices in mind.

With that out of the way, the following has been confirmed to be working with Tails v6.3:

1) Enable persistence

2) Open terminal and execute the following:
$ mkdir -p /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/dotfiles/.tor-browser/profile.default
$ cp ~/.tor-browser/profile.default/prefs.js /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/dotfiles/.tor-browser/profile.default/
$ printf $'user_pref("javascript.enabled", false);' >> /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/dotfiles/.tor-browser/profile.default/prefs.js
$ chmod 640 /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/dotfiles/.tor-browser/profile.default/prefs.js

3) Reboot, unlock persistent storage, connect to tor and launch Tor Browser

4) Validate that preference has been applied
(Either enter 'about:config' in Tor Browser and search for 'javascript.enabled' or, browse to your favorite fingerprinting URL.)
