A note regarding user comments
When reading the user comments on this page, keep in mind that this guide has been around since 2015 and, given the dynamic nature of the web and Firefox, some of the information in comments, including information provided by myself, may be obsolete or entirely wrong. Nevertheless i decided to retain all comments because... nostalgia. If you have any questions, ask.
Do you think Chrome is better?
better than Firefox? no – if for some reason you don’t want to use Firefox i might suggest Ungoogled Chromium
Try LibreWolf

Hello, great job,
A question : is there a way to configure preferences for firefox on a machine, not only for the current user, but for all users, in one shot ? (after installation, not during installation with a policies.json)
I’m Looking for a post-installation solution with a kind of global js file that can be configured
Thx in advance for your reply
i’m sure there is but i’m a single user so i never looked into it – try these…
Change some default settings for Firefox globally – Super User
Locking preferences – MozillaZine Knowledge Base
Thx for ur reply, that’s it

Hope this can help other ;)
I found Malwarebytes Browser Guard and it looks not bad. Does someone use it, please?
i wouldn’t use it, but that’s just me
Can I use Firefox Themes from official mozilla store? Are they vetted? Can they contain malware? If yes how can I ensure that? What would be repercussion of theming on my privacy?
i know nothing about the themes
