# mozilla.cfg | Firefox

The files contained here are 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:

These files has been designed exclusively for Desktop, more specifically for:

* [Firefox](http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/)
* [Pale Moon](http://www.palemoon.org/)
* [SeaMonkey](http://www.seamonkey-project.org/)



## Settings Protection:

Important settings are enforced/locked within `mozilla.cfg` and `policies.json`, those settings cannot be changed by addons/updates/Firefox or unwanted/accidental manipulation; To change those settings you can easily do it by editing `mozilla.cfg` and `policies.json`.



## Installation:

### Windows

- Download and install the last version of Firefox `x32` release or `x64` release
- Clone or download zip file and extract it
- Locate Firefox's installation directory (where the firefox.exe is located) `C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\` or `C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\`
- Copy the files contained in `config` folder to the install directory
- Start Firefox and test if config was applied browsing to `about:config` and look if `_config.applied` is `true`.

### Linux

- Download and extract the last version of Firefox `x32` release or `x64` release
- Clone or download zip file and extract it
- Locate Firefox's installation directory `/usr/lib/firefox/`

- You can use directly Firefox by running `firefox/firefox`
- You can as well create a shortcut to `firefox/firefox` to open Firefox easily
- Start Firefox and test if config was applied browsing to `about:config` and look if `_config.applied` is `true`.

### Mac

- Download and install the last version of Firefox
- Clone or download zip file and extract it
- Locate Firefox's installation directory `Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/`
- Copy the files contained in `config` folder to the install directory
