How I Configure Mozilla Firefox for Privacy : firefox

I suggest you maintain a user.js file in your Firefox profile directory to back up your settings, you can find every equivalent GUI setting by querying its name on searchfox.

That and their linked Firefox Configuration Guide for Privacy Freaks and Performance Buffs!!! and

I’ve been using arkenfox user.js for a while but the broken ux from strict enforcement is a bit rough for those with expectations of being able to browse normally. I keep a more open profile for visiting must work sites.

Is it possible to have full screen on start on Firefox with resist fingerprinting enabled ? My resolution is very common so I don't worry about it...

Temporary containers in automatic mode would make cookie autodelete and multi-account containers redundant.

Yeah, it does, maybe not with MAC since you could need it to keep your cookies, though.

I also recommend Redirect AMP to HTML and CSS Exfil Protection, and in my opinion Privacy Redirect is also redundant, I prefer something like Violent Monkey for that since at least you could add more scripts or stuff.

I do use Redirect AMP to HTML, but I didn't initially think of it as a privacy extension. Thinking about it more, it would keep you off of Google's AMP CDN, which is a privacy win. I'll add it to the post.

Cookie Autodelete helps when you have a long-lived temporary container, usually from shift-clicking links to open in a new tab, which ends up inheriting the same container.

good point, that has bugged me a bit actually as I usually pin a search tab and it autoopen results in a new tab of same container. I just looked for a feature request to make this optional but only found the opposite ( https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/issues/245) maybe I’ll request that feature though it looks like many people are using Containerize now.
