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 |

🟪 user.js
A user.js is a configuration file that can control hundreds of Firefox settings. For a more technical breakdown and explanation, you can read more on the overview wiki page.
🟩 the arkenfox user.js
The arkenfox user.js is a template which aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage (but it will happen).
Everyone, experts included, should at least read the implementation wiki page, as it contains important information regarding a few user.js settings.
Note that we do not recommend connecting over Tor on Firefox. Use the Tor Browser if your threat model calls for it, or for accessing hidden services.
Also be aware that the arkenfox user.js is made specifically for desktop Firefox. Using it as-is in other Gecko-based browsers can be counterproductive, especially in the Tor Browser.
