user.js | Fenix, Iceraven or 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:

• Firefox Fenix Nightly for Android - Mozilla-mobile
• Iceraven browser - Forks maintainers
• Fennec F-Droid - F-Droid (out of date)

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 the use of Amaze or TWRP File Manager before proceed.

• Download and install Fenix, Iceraven or Fennec F-Droid from the 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 data/data/org.mozilla(iceraven/Fenix)/files/mozilla/[xxxxxxx].default
• Copy the extracted user.js file to the above installation directory.
• Delete prefs.js file inside the above directory
• Start the browser and test if user.js was applied : browse to about:config (put it in search bar) and look if config.applied is true.

If this doesn't work I suggest you to use the ROOT METHOD 2 below.

ROOT METHOD 2 (app)

• Download and install the browser from the official websites.

• Download and install User.js Updater

• Start the browser for the first time (offline mode/no data connections) and wait about 5 sec.

• Close it.

• Open User.js Updater app and grant storage permission.

• Tap UPDATE at the bottom and grant root permission.

• Start the browser and test if user.js was applied : browse to about:config (put it in search bar) and look if config.applied is true.

• AFWall+ USERS: You can disable Use Download Manager option into Settings and enable data connection just to the app itself.
