about:config <- yeah ... lets mess a bit in here, lots of work can be done there
dom.battery.enabled = false - otherwise, sites could potentially read the battery status of your computer
dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled = false - otherwise, sites could potentially get a lot of information about what you copy or cut from it, which can even include sensitive information
browser.send_pings = false - this disables sending browser-pings
media.peerconnection.turn.disable = true
media.peerconnection.use_document_iceservers = false
media.peerconnection.video.enabled = false
media.peerconnection.identity.timeout = 1
webgl.disabled = true
next security trick goes hand in hand with 2 awesome plug ins :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... isconnect/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... g-cookies/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
network.cookie.lifetimePolicy = 2 - so that all cookies will be deleted once you close your browser
network.cookie.cookieBehavior = 1 - so that cookies will only be accepted from the site you are visiting, not from third-parties such as ad-networks
privacy.trackingprotection.enabled = true - this enables Firefox' built-in tracking protection
geo.enabled = false - this disables geolocation
and of course some MUST HAVE plug ins :
https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ck-origin/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... /noscript/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... rackmenot/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
thx for your attention
