About

My Tailor-Fitted highly customized and advanced Firefox configuration.

Note

This repository is not meant to be used as a whole, but rather as a reference for my own configuration. I do not recommend using it as is, as it is not meant to be used by anyone else. I do not provide any support for this repository. If you want to use it, you are on your own.

Tip

Disable all telemetry and data collection in Firefox. Look at my user.js and find others' user.js and hardened firefox configs.
