We’ve all turned off trimURLs but what else is hiding in there?

    For me:

    browser.ctrlTab.recentlyUsedOrder: False

    browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent: True

    dom.popup_maximum: 100

    browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel: False

    I always like to start over with a clean slate. The one that’s been with me for about 15 years now is browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab set to false.

      The firefox account is actually neat. It syncs bookmarks, history and passwords between desktop, phone, laptop or wherever you use firefox.

      What do browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled and media.peerconnection.enabled do?

          media.peerconnection.enabled it disable WebRTC.

          Why would you want that? Doesn’t that block you from using basically any online call?

                WebRTC leaks your IP allowing third-party websites to exploit the WebRTC in your browser to detect your real IP address and use it to identify you.

                You still can use desktop apps to do that.
