First of all, keep up the good work!

Afterwards, I would like to suggest two changes I consider relevant.

Running wireshark I saw automatic connections when Fennec is opened using wifi. The data is from lan to router and the reachable port is always 4886.
You could avoid such behaviour changing:
network.tickle-wifi.enabled from true to false.

More information:

On the other hand, this is a controversial change. I've always disabled donottrack feature.
Nevertheless, most of the users have it activated by default. If you compare your browser in some fingerprinting webs you'll realise you get better marks enabling it.
So I suggest changing:
privacy.donottrackheader.enabled from false to true.

Thank you for your time.

Greetings.

Regarding DNT protection I understand your point of view but prefer to limit requests to Mozilla servers as much as necessary.

I'd like your presence in the group on Telegram, definitely a better place to discuss. :)

Hi, thank you for your contribution. I find the first point very interesting. I always noticed the connection requests and now I know how to disable it. Expect to see it implemented in the next update. Regarding DNT protection I understand your point of view but prefer to limit requests to Mozilla servers as much as necessary.
