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.

  • more privacy
  • better performance
  • less unique fingerprint possible
