user.js | Fennec F-Droid

I created this project with the intention of creating something really dedicated for Firefox for Android. The file contained here is used to configure Firefox in the safest and fastest way possible. To realize this project I took inspiration from various authors of user.js and I've implemented some preferences of my own.

Aims:

  • online security
  • more privacy
  • better performance
  • less unique fingerprint possible

Best Use:

This user.js has been designed exclusively for Mobile use and you can use on these browsers:

Settings Protection:

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 natively by Mozilla without we can realize it. All this does not lead into stability issues.

Installation:

first root method (Fennec F-Droid)

  • Download and install Fennec F-Droid form the official F-Droid client or from the official F-Droid Website
  • Start for the first time (offline mode/no data connections) and wait 5 sec.
  • Close your browser
  • Clone or download zip file and extract it
  • Locate Fennec's installation directory data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/files/mozilla/[xxxxxxx].default
  • Copy the extracted user.js file to the install directory
  • Delete prefs.js file inside the install directory
  • Start Fennec F-Droid and test if user.js was applied browsing to about:config and look if user.js.applied is true.

If this doesn't work I suggest you to use "second root method" below.

second root method (Fennec F-Droid)

  • Download and install Fennec F-Droid form the official F-Droid client or from the official F-Droid Website
  • Download and install user.js-updater app
  • Start for the first time (offline mode/no data connections) and wait 5 sec.
  • Close your browser
  • Open user.js-updater app
  • Select the browser you want to apply user.js through the SELECT BROWSER bar at the top
  • Select quindecim as the author
  • Tap UPDATE at the bottom and grant root permission to proceed
  • Start Fennec F-Droid and test if user.js was applied browsing to about:config and look if user.js.applied is true.

Thanks to v1nc for creating this app, useful for this method.
