# user.js | Firefox Fenix Nightly, Iceraven, Fennec F-Droid and Mull
|
|
|
|
The `user.js` file is used to configure Firefox for android in the safest and fastest way possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Goals:
|
|
|
|
* enhance security and privacy
|
|
* improve performance
|
|
* better fingerprint possible
|
|
* reduce automatic connections
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Compatible browsers:
|
|
|
|
This `user.js` has been designed for mobile purposes and you can use it on these browsers:
|
|
|
|
* [Firefox Fenix Nightly for Android](https://firefox-ci-tc.services.mozilla.com/tasks/index/mobile.v2.fenix.nightly.latest) - Mozilla-mobile
|
|
* [Iceraven browser](https://github.com/fork-maintainers/iceraven-browser) - Forks maintainers
|
|
* [Fennec F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/) - F-Droid
|
|
* [Mull](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/) - F-Droid
|
|
|
|
If you are running IcecatMobile or old Fennec (version 68) use [Quindecim user.js](https://git.nixnet.xyz/quindecim/mobile_user.js) instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to install (only rooted devices)
|
|
|
|
|
|
I would like to suggest the use of [Amaze](https://github.com/TeamAmaze/AmazeFileManager) or [TWRP File Manager](https://twrp.me/Devices/) before proceed.
|
|
As for the first one, make sure you enable "Use legacy listing for root" in Settings/Behavior/Advanced.
|
|
- Download and install the browsers from their official websites (see above)
|
|
- Start the browser for the first time (offline mode/no data connections) and wait about 5 sec.
|
|
- Close it.
|
|
- Clone or download zip file and extract it
|
|
- Locate browser's installation directory similar to this:
|
|
|
|
✳️ Firefox Fenix Nightly `data/data/org.mozilla.fenix/files/mozilla/[xxxxxxx].default`
|
|
|
|
✳️ Iceraven `data/data/io.github.forkmaintainers.iceraven/files/mozilla/[xxxxxxx].default`
|
|
|
|
✳️ Fennec F-Droid `data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_froid/files/mozilla/[xxxxxxx].default`
|
|
|
|
✳️ Mull `data/data/us.spotco.fennec_dos/files/mozilla/[xxxxxxx].default`
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Copy the extracted `user.js` file to the above installation directory. If you are using Amaze, once the file is copied, tap the three dots, properties/permissions and enable all the "read" ones and "write" for owner and group. Finally, tap Set and Ok.
|
|
- Delete `prefs.js` file inside the above directory
|
|
- Start the browser and test if `user.js` was applied :
|
|
browse to `about:config` and look if `_config.is.applied` is `true`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Non-rooted devices

## Installing Iceraven addons in Fennec/Mull/Firefox Nightly
|
|
|
|
First of all, take into account automatic addons updates are blocked in order to avoid all the Mozilla connections.
|
|
|
|
Go to Settings, about Fennec/Mull/Firefox Nightly, tap 5 times over its logo, Debug mode will enable.
|
|
|
|
Back to Settings, Install add-on from file and select your .xpi files.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, if you wish automatic updates, edit these files adding // this way -> user_pref -> // user_pref
|
|
|
|
user_pref("extensions.update.enabled", false);
|
|
|
|
user_pref("extensions.update.url", "");
|
|
|
|
user_pref("extensions.autoupdate.enabled", false);
|
|
|
|
user_pref("extensions.update.background.url", "");
|
|
|
|
user_pref("extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault", false);
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Considerations
|
|
|
|
Once installed, go to Settings, ETP and select Strict.
|
|
|
|
Some automatic connections could not be blocked so you will have to add them to your host list.

## Known problems
|
|
|
|
`Some breakage?`
|
|
|
|
Try changing "network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy" from 2 to 1
|
|
|
|
`Performance loss?`
|
|
|
|
You have to change these strings from false to true:
|
|
|
|
javascript.options.ion
|
|
|
|
javascript.options.baselinejit
|
|
|
|
javascript.options.native_regexp
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Bugs with HTTP sites?`
|
|
|
|
Due to fission is enabled, HTTP websites don't load when HTTPS only mode is activated . Consider disabling it. There are also issues with self signed certificates in HTTPS webs.
