# user.js | 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.
To realize this project I was inspirated by various authors of `user.js` and I've implemented some preferences of mine.

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.
