Foster's Firefox User.js

What is a user.js File?

A user.js is a configuration file to control Firefox settings. Refer to the User.js entry from the MozillaZine Knowledge Base for more info.

About

This is my personal user.js for configuring Firefox and is based on ArkenFox's user.js. The goal is to enhance privacy by preventing unsolicited requests made by Firefox. To achieve this, many settings related to telemetry, studies, geolocation, and experiments are disabled.

Only a subset of the configurations from Arkenfox are implemented and many of the experimental options are excluded. As a result, this version should not cause any breakages. If you are looking for a more comprehensive privacy configuration, then I suggest going with the Arkenfox version instead.

Installation

Before you begin, I suggest making a backup of your entire Firefox profile folder. Refer to Mozilla's Profiles support article on how to find the location of the profile folder.

Copy the user.js file in the root directory of this repo to your profile folder then restart Firefox.
