|
* The settings below will turn off Tracking Protection, Safe Browsing and Auto Updates
|
|
You need to read, understand, and decide about these. Don't leave yourself less secure
|
|
* Site breakage WILL happen
|
|
- There are often trade-offs and conflicts between Security vs Privacy vs Anti-Fingerprinting
|
|
and these need to be balanced against Functionality & Convenience & Breakage

|
* You will need to make a few changes to suit your own needs

- Search this file for the "[SETUP]" tag to find SOME common items you could check

/*** 0400: QUIET FOX [PART 2] [WARNING] [SETUP]
|
|
This section has security & tracking protection implications vs privacy concerns vs effectiveness.
|
|
These settings, WITH EXTENSIONS, are geared up to make Firefox "quiet", private and effective.
|
|
We DO NOT advocate no protection, so use something with more scope, such as uBlock Origin.
|
|
|
|
This entire section is rather contentious. Safebrowsing (SB) is designed to protect
|
|
users from malicious sites. Tracking protection (TP) is designed to lessen the impact of third
|
|
parties on websites to reduce tracking and to speed up your browsing experience. These are
|
|
both very good features provided by Mozilla. They do rely on third parties: Google for
|
|
safebrowsing and Disconnect for tracking protection (someone has to provide the information).
|
|
Additionally, SSL Error Reporting helps makes the internet more secure for everyone.
|
|
|
|
If you do not understand the ramifications of disabling SB and TP, then it is advised that
|
|
you enable them by commenting out the preferences and saving the changes, and then in
|
|
about:config find each entry and right-click and reset the preference's value.

/*** 2697: USER AGENT (UA) SPOOFING
|
|
Spoofing your UA to *LOWER* entropy *does* *not* *work*. It may even cause site breakage
|
|
depending on your values. Even if you spoof, like TBB (Tor Browser Bundle) does, as the
|
|
latest ESR, it still *does* *not* *work*. There are two main reasons for this.
|
|
1. Many of the components that make up your UA can be derived by other means. And when
|
|
those values differ, you provide more bits and raise entropy. Examples of leaks include
|
|
navigator objects, resource://URIs, <isindex> locale, feature detection and more.
|
|
2. You are not in a controlled set of significant numbers, where the values are enforced
|
|
by default. It works for TBB because for TBB, the spoofed values ARE their default.
|
|
* We do not recommend UA spoofing yourself, leave it to privacy.resistFingerprinting (see 2699)
