ABrowserSetting is an object representing a browser setting.

It provides methods to set and get the setting's underlying value, to clear any change you've made to it, and to listen for changes to its value.

Note that while this object is based on theChromeSetting type, this object does not distinguish between setting the value in normal browsing windows and in private browsing windows. This means that all parts of the API relating to private browsing (such as thescope option toChromeSetting.set()) are not implemented.
