This is a collection of some Firefox hardening settings. It aims to bring a more privacy-focused browsing experience.
This package can be installed from the AUR: firefox-hardening
Changes are done by placing a configuration file in /usr/lib/firefox/browser/defaults/preferences/
next to vendor.js
which overwrites some default settings system-wide.
Also plugins, that are installed by default will be removed.
