mozilla.cfg | Firefox

The files contained here are used to configure Firefox in the safest and fastest way possible. To realize this project I was inspirated by various authors of user.js and I’ve implemented some preferences of mine.

Aims:

• online security
• more privacy
• better performance
• less unique fingerprint possible

Best Use:

These files has been designed exclusively for Desktop, more specifically for:

• Firefox
• Waterfox
• Pale Moon
• SeaMonkey

Settings Protection:

Important settings are enforced/locked within mozilla.cfg and policies.json, those settings cannot be changed by addons/updates/Firefox or unwanted/accidental manipulation; To change those settings you can easily do it by editing mozilla.cfg and policies.json.
