## Further Hardening

Firefox Beta and Fennec users can further harden firefox by changing about:config settings

- For further hardening of Firefox, check out [Privacy Guides](https://www.privacyguides.org/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
