Holistic approach to Firefox settings via user.js

Recommended Posts

I've came across with different settings via about:config and found them too tiresome, so I've decided to amend the existing user.js from ghacks

Short description is here:

 

In Firefox profile folder (

 

Help-> Troubleshooting information-> Profile directory
 

 

)
copy and save your current pref.js file. If something falls apart you can safely delete your user.js and replace  pref.js with its older version. It's important!!

 

The following part is my amendments to ghacks user.js.

 

user_pref("network.cookie.cookieBehavior", 1);
 

 

2- is too much, you cannot enter some websites with it. Or be ready to change it in user.js ( and in pref.js as it preserve previous user's choice) every time.
 

 

user_pref("network.cookie.lifetimePolicy", 2);
 

 

the commented option from original file was 0 (The originated server sets the cookie lifetime. (default))
 

 

user_pref("privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies", true);
 

 

it was false on ghacks-user.js, but true was the good default option

I also uncommented related safebrowsing options, for example:

 

 user_pref("browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.safebrowsing.phishing.enabled", false);
 

 

I like some old add-ons , so

 

user_pref("extensions.legacy.enabled", true);
 

 

For those, who prefer searching from the address string

 

user_pref("keyword.enabled", true);

 

 

Yes, this is invocation for DuckDuckGo

 

user_pref("browser.search.defaultenginename.US","DuckDuckGo");  
user_pref("browser.search.defaultenginename", "DuckDuckGo");
