## Further Hardening
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Firefox Beta and Fennec users can further harden firefox by changing about:config settings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- For further hardening of Firefox, check out [PrivacyTools](https://www.privacytools.io/browsers/#about_config) and [arkenfox user.js](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: To use user.js, place it in
|
||
|
|
- Firefox Beta: /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox_beta/files/mozilla/SomeAlphanumericText.default/
|
||
|
|
- Fennec: /data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/files/mozilla/SomeAlphanumericText.default/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check the permissions for pref.js and give the same to user.js
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
##### Requires root access for the above steps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively just change each and every setting manually in about:config
