Setup and Customisation

• Recommendation: always install ESR
  • e.g. snap install firefox --channel=esr/stable (credit) or download directly
• add-ons and extensions collection
• Custom user.js
• Custom userChrome.css
  • WARNING:
    • uses UserChrome Megabar Styler utility
    • changes the order of the URL and bookmark toolbars to allow for screenshots without showing bookmarks toolbar (if visible)
• Updates Policy Control

Preventing Unwanted Redirections

• to prevent unwanted redirections (e.g. shopping sites forced redirection to log in when briefly viewing product page navigating from search result)
  • from the about:config page, find network.http.redirection-limit and set to ‘1‘
• WARNING: this may break some mobile app-redirect-to-embedded default browser for mobile app log ins if Firefox is the default mobile browser
  • in which case, simple reverse the change (either click “reset” button or set back to ‘20‘)
