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 and arkenfox user.js
NOTE 1: 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 already present in that path and give the same permissions to user.js
NOTE 2:
- Root access is required for placing user.js in above mentioned path and changing permissions.
- Users without root access can just change each and every setting manually in about:config
