This is basically backporting some changes that have been already implemented with my earlier Arch builds. Mostly it's about keeping some of the settings most often causing "issues" unlocked, to make it easier to change them once needed. Cookie handling, for example, can be handled via [Cookie AutoDelete](https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/cookie-autodelete/) more comfortably, allowing exceptions for websites and a more granular retention / rejection. Having the option to actually keep a history or autofill forms can also be desired, when the tradeoff with regards to privacy implications is understood and accepted, so while keeping those options off by default, it might be helpful to have them easily modifiable. `resistFingerprinting` can cause issues (rarely), so it might be desired to at least temporarily disable it in some cases. The predefined useragent and other overrides sometimes cause issues with certain websites, so being able to modify can be required as well. The webextensions-CSP needs to be slightly modified to allow some addons (especially μBlock Origin) to function. Furthermore, options to allow re-enabling installing (and, optionally, updating) extensions from the official extension store might be a good thing, albeit somewhat of a tradeoff between privacy and security: Basically keeping extensions up to date is crucial from a security point of view, and the official extension store is at least a somewhat trusted source of extensions. This also indirectly can be a good thing for privacy, as in keeping relevant addons current with regards to privacy enhancing techniques. Of course, extensions can be kept up to date separately as well, but from my experience this is often not taken care of properly and quite a lot of extra work. In a comparable vein, the `xpinstall.signatures.required` option might be a good thing, but also undesired – so it's just kept unlocked. |
