AS is out of control. No master switch in FF60+, and in order to 100% sure nothing is collected locally (or external connections made), there are now some 28 prefs (including those coming in FF61). This is re-DICK-ulous. We're not going to bother tracking all that, let alone the labyrinth of code. All users are advised to just make sure they remove the XPI every time they update FF. |

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.
ghacks user.js
The ghacks user.js is a template, which, as provided, 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 ghacks user.js settings.
