# user.js | Fenix, Iceraven or Fennec F-Droid
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
There are 2 versions:
|
||
-One, recommended by default for average users.
|
||
-Another one with less connections as possible, meaning there are not automatic addons updates. You'll have to uninstall and reinstall them.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 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](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* [Fennec F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/) - F-Droid (out of date)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](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.amaze.filemanager/) or [TWRP File Manager](https://twrp.me/Devices/) before proceed.
|
||
- Download and install Fenix, Iceraven or Fennec F-Droid from 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](https://github.com/v1nc/user.js-updater/releases)
|
||
- 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.
