I use uBlock Origin and make some changes to the default settings. Have seen recommend configs, but haven’t gotten to implement them yet.

What do you do to make Firefox even more privacy respecting and secure?

    Arkenfox’s user.js with some tweaks to retain Firefox as my daily driver and uBlock with a couple of additional filter lists enabled. I’ve recently added LibRedirect to minimize Reddit visits

      Arkenfox+uBlock here as well. I haven’t found a need for anything more privacywise. I also have another profile with no Arkenfox for things which Arkenfox breaks (though i try to minimize visiting them).

        user_pref("browser.startup.page", 1) and user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "about:home") to replace the startup blank page with home.
        user_pref("browser.newtabpage.enabled", true) to replace the new tab page with home.

        user_pref("keyword.enabled", true)
user_pref("browser.search.suggest.enabled", true)
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.searches", true)
user_pref("browser.urlbar.suggest.quicksuggest.nonsponsored", true)

        to enable search suggestions (I’m using Brave Search).
        user_pref("privacy.resistFingerprinting", false), but I don’t remember why exactly. The biggest inconvience of setting this to true is websites preferring light theme, but there was also something else… not sure what tho
        user_pref("privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing", false) to avoid web pages being smaller than the actual window size.
