# user.js | Fennec F-Droid

I made this project to create something dedicated for Firefox for Android.
The `user.js` file is 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:

This `user.js` has been designed for Mobile use and you can use on these browsers:

* [Fennec F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/) - F-Droid
* [Firefox for Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&hl=en_US) - Google Play
* [Firefox for Android Beta](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta&hl=en_US) - Google Play


## Note:

This file contains prefs. that are not native to the Android version of Firefox, but I have chosen to add them to avoid that in the future they can be implemented by Mozilla without we can realize it.

All this does not lead into stability issues.



## Installation:

### **ROOT METHOD 1** *(file manager)*

- I would like to suggest you to use one of these file managers before proceed: [Amaze](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.amaze.filemanager/), [Dir](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.veniosg.dir) or [Ghost Commander](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.ghostsq.commander)
- Download and install Fennec F-Droid form the official [F-Droid client](https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk) or from the official [F-Droid Website](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/)
- Start for the first time (offline mode/no data connections) and wait 5 sec.
- Close your browser
- Clone or download zip file and extract it
- Locate Fennec's installation directory `data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/files/mozilla/[xxxxxxx].default`
- Copy the extracted `user.js` file to the install directory
- Delete `prefs.js` file inside the install directory
- Start Fennec F-Droid and test if `user.js` was applied browsing to `about:config` and look if `config.applied` is `true`.

If this doesn't work I suggest you to use **second root method** below.
