Some scripts that can be used to customize Firefox for better privacy. #338
Comments
Hi @plantindesk, thank you for the suggestion. If you check Linux > Configure programs > Configure Firefox, you'll see that almost all of these are covered. We need a way to share scripts between OSes, it would be painful to replicate these in Windows, better to roll to all three platforms including macOS from same place. I need to refactor how scripts are compiled to achieve this so the compiler allow using shared scripts/categories between collections. I will check other missing ones and can add on Linux and implement share mechanism so Windows collection can use all stuff Linux has. This will take time though. Some comments:

Choosing between 1 and 4 would improve privacy. The New Cookie Jar policy (value 4) provides more protection, but may break some sites' functionality.
network.cookie.lifetimePolicy = 2
This is another integer type preference that you should set to a value of 2. This preference determines when cookies are deleted. Here are the different options:
Setting this to 2 should allow the websites you visit to work and all cookies will be automatically deleted after the session.
