2787da7f90 Update README.md 2021-12-24 06:04:38 +00:00
7e18f8b473 tweak 2011
- FF85+ switched to using application regional locale
   - go to about:support > Internationalization & Localization (almost at the very end)
   - look at Application > Regional Preferences
- add test
2021-12-24 06:01:41 +00:00
d2510b014d move updates to personal
updating (app, extensions, ext cache) is not a privacy issue
- if you're willing to use Firefox but not trust updating, then I have two bricks to sell you: users who wish to disable it (to check changes first etc) and update in a timely manner, then that is on them - including any prompt fatigue
- same goes for extensions: the end-user installed them (and arkenfox only recommends a very select few) - the onus is on the end-user

The remaining ones I will deal with later

87bd8683fa 2022: add browser.eme.ui.enabled
for those who want to remove DRM prompts and have no intention of enabling it
2021-12-23 21:22:41 +00:00
d48d3ad29a remove browser.eme.ui.enabled 2021-12-23 21:20:28 +00:00
6675225ec4 make 0301 inactive
auto-updating is not a security nor a privacy risk, by default it should be enabled and it's on end-users if they want to disable it - does not affect windows users
2021-12-23 06:36:39 +00:00
bb56056a68 explain 0-RTT 2021-12-15 19:23:03 +00:00
93f0ff89c8 move web notifcations to don't bother 2021-12-15 00:05:03 +00:00
7811e912f4 make push notifications inactive
- they require SWers which are already blocked by virtue of permissions being session only
- also remove "dom.push.userAgentID" as this means prefsCleaner resets it and would wipe user's subscriptions
   - not adding "dom.push.userAgentID" to the cleanup script for the same reason

2021-12-09 16:14:36 +00:00
8860c90abf make service workers inactive
currently 3rd party service workers are blocked in FF95 when dFPI is enabled (which this version has should anyone update to 96-alpha)
   - but I get an error even on first party - https://arkenfox.github.io/TZP/tzp.html#storage
   - I get : service worker | test : enabled | failed: SecurityError
in FF96+ service workers they are covered by dFPI
  - see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1731999

been inactive since jesus was a baby
2021-12-09 13:47:57 +00:00
0634a568ef remove redundant site data prefs
we've never used these
- service workers are disabled (or soon to be covered by dFPI when enabled) and sanitizing is already done (or will be done via enhanced cookie cleaning)
- storage API, storage access API: we sanitize on close, and sites are isolated by eTLD+1

/***
This will reset the preferences that have been removed completely from the arkenfox user.js.
This will reset the preferences that have been
- removed from the arkenfox user.js
- deprecated by Mozilla but listed in the arkenfox user.js in the past
Last updated: 29-August-2021
Last updated: 16-January-2022
Instructions:
- [optional] close Firefox and backup your profile
- [optional] disable your network connection [1]
- start Firefox
- load about:config and press Ctrl+Shift+K to open the Web Console for about:config
- using about:config is important, so the script has the right permissions
- paste this script
- if you edited the list of prefs in the script, make sure the last pref does not have a trailing comma
- hit enter
- check the Info output to see which prefs were reset
- restart
- some prefs require a restart
- a restart will reapply your user.js
- [optional] re-enable your network connection
[1] Blocking Firefox from the internet ensures it cannot act on your reset preferences in the
period before you restart it, such as app and extension auto-updating, or downloading unwanted
components (GMP etc). It depends on what you're resetting and how long before you restart.
