Further Hardening

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

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
