## user.js | Firefox ESR, Firefox and Firefox Nightly.
This a is a fork of the arkenfox project.

The `user.js` file is for configuring and hardening Firefox privacy.-

## Goals

* enhance privacy
* improve performance
* better fingerprint possible
* reduce automatic connections to the minimum posible

## Considerations

This user.js is a fork from the arkenfox project with a substantial divergence. It tries to avoid all the automatic connections even though security could be reduced slightly.
For instance, OSCP is a privacy breach. Nevertheless, it is also a security feature. This user.js disables them as well as safebrowsing, automatic addons connections and so on. You will have to check manually updates of addons in the related preferences section.

However, 2 connections could not be blocked anymore:
* firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com
* content-signature-2.cdn.mozilla.net
So you'll have to add them to the host list of your OS.
