- in v94 we switched to cookies lifetime as session, so users could use site exceptions to retain selected cookies (to stay logged in one assumes) - that mean not deleting all cookies on shutdown - but some login methods/types require more than cookies and also need the "site data" part of "cookies + site data" - that's the offlineApps part - note: all site data (and cookies) is still cleared on close except site exceptions
🟪 user.js
A user.js is a configuration file that can control hundreds of Firefox settings. For a more technical breakdown and explanation, you can read more on the overview wiki page.
🟩 the arkenfox user.js
The arkenfox user.js is a template which aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage (but it will happen).
Everyone, experts included, should at least read the implementation wiki page, as it contains important information regarding a few user.js settings.
Note that we do not recommend connecting over Tor on Firefox. Use the Tor Browser if your threat model calls for it, or for accessing hidden services.
Also be aware that the arkenfox user.js is made specifically for desktop Firefox. Using it as-is in other Gecko-based browsers can be counterproductive, especially in the Tor Browser.
