  1. /******** * ULTIMATE HARDENED FIREFOX USER.JS * Combines changes outlined in ghacks.net and GitHub's hardened FF profiles as at October 2015. The GHacks version was used as the base profile, with additional Github privacy/settings inserted (marked with 'GITHUB' label). * Successfully tested with Linux FF 41.0.2 (Youtube etc). * All credits to the primary authors and many contributors from Github, GHacks Forums and Wilders Security Forums who did the hard yards. * Minor changes have been made by this author to further increase privacy and convenience e.g. no OCSP checks due to third parties involved, changes to cookie policies/behaviours, disabling of spdy, using all privacy options to clear data/cookies etc upon FF shutdown, enabling full native HTML5 support by default (and several others). * This entire text block should be saved to a new file named user.js ********/ /********* * The two original user.js profiles used to create this 'ultimate' privacy/security profile can be found here: * url: http://www.ghacks.net/2015/08/18/a-comprehensive-list-of-firefox-privacy-and-security-settings/ * url: https://github.com/pyllyukko/user.js * This is NOT a "comprehensive" list of ALL things privacy/security-related, otherwise it would be enormous. * It is actually a long list of settings that generally differ from their defaults, and is aimed at improving security, privacy, a "quieter" FF, fingerprinting, and tracking - while allowing (most) functionality. There will be trade-offs and conflicts between these. * IMPORTANT STEPS: * Note: user.js - this OVER-WRITES any corresponding about:config entries on Firefox start if accidentally stored in the default folder! see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file To avoid this problem, carefully follow the steps below: 1. Create a new FF profile and directory to store this new version of user.js for testing purposes. * To create a new profile in GNU/Linux, the FF profile manager can be accessed via the terminal (Alt-F2): firefox -P * Create a new profile, give it a suitable name, and then shutdown FF. * To access the FF profile manager in other O/S and create new profiles, see simple Mozilla notes online. 3. This entire text file should be saved as user.js and moved to the new profile directory you just created. * In GNU/Linux, run in terminal: ls .mozilla/firefox You will see that FF profiles are stored (hidden) under your home directory: ./mozilla/firefox * In Windoze, you need to drop the user.js file to %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXXXXX.your_new_profile_name. * Do NOT touch the 'XXXXXX.default' profile directory or dump your new user.js in the default folder! You will lose all your current 'default' settings, bookmarks and other data! 4. Restart Firefox and select your new profile at start-up. Voila! You now have a 'secure' profile available alongside your 'default' profile. * NOTE: BEFORE deciding to use this new user.js, you SHOULD actually read what the prefs do (information is provided, and links) and if necessary, change, remove or comment out with two forward slashes (//) any preferences you're not happy with or not sure about. * COMMON PROBLEMS: some prefs will break a number of popular sites (it's inevitable). In particular, these two settings below may need to be reset to defaults to stop breakage: security.OCSP.require dom.indexedDB.enabled * ADDITIONAL FF CHANGES: Add-ons are also essential for safer browsing e.g. HTTPS Everywhere, No-Script & Canvas Blocker (stops HTML5 canvas/image data extraction). Also strongly consider installing UBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Self-destructing Cookies and Random Agent Spoofer as complimentary add-ons. * In preferences, set your default homepage to a search provider that doesn't track by default e.g. https://search.disconnect.me Consider also turning off hardware acceleration as it is understood to be a possible attack vector (?), along with cached web content settings (set to zero MB). * Other general FF settings for better security - set all plug-ins to 'never activate' and do not install additional themes/services/languages. They are all likely to be trackable identifiers, and plug-ins are further notorious for leaking lots of data about your system and protocols. *********/ // STARTUP // 0100: STARTUP // 0101: disable "slow startup" warnings, disk history, welcomes, intros, EULA, default browser check user_pref("browser.slowStartup.notificationDisabled", true); user_pref("browser.slowStartup.maxSamples", 0); user_pref("browser.slowStartup.samples", 0); user_pref("browser.rights.3.shown", true); user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore"); user_pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", ""); user_pref("startup.homepage_override_url", ""); user_pref("browser.feeds.showFirstRunUI", false); user_pref("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false); // GEO // 0200: GEO // 0201: disable location-aware browsing user_pref("geo.enabled", false); user_pref("geo.wifi.uri", "http://127.0.0.1"); user_pref("browser.search.geoip.url", ""); // 0202: disable GeoIP-based search results - https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/16254 user_pref("browser.search.countryCode", "US"); user_pref("browser.search.region", "US"); // QUIET Fox Part 1 // 0300: QUIET FOX [PART 1] - no (auto) phoning home for anything - you can still do manual updates // NOTE: It is still important to do updates for security reasons.
