Have you seen ff config hardening by arkenfox?

gfx.webrender.all shouldn't be needed anymore. Does it make a difference for you? i.e. Does the value of "Compositor:" change if you change the pref and restart?
- Sunspark 5y ago
  No, it doesn't. It doesn't seem webrender can be disabled anymore.

  Kudos, just reset the about:config change and the about:support is still showing webrenderer on my Mobile and laptop. Do you know if this includes all of the bells and whistles for webrenderer? I still see many webrenderer releated about:config options with false
  - muizelaar 5y ago
    Yep, this includes everything.

That first one only occurred on a small number of machines, and looks fixed now.

That, plus TreeStyleTab because every monitor is wide enough to get rid of the tabs bar https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...

  Try sidebery. I used to use treestyletab, but sidebery feels more modern. Its also easier to tweak with css :)
- TranquilMarmot 5y ago
  I used TreeStyleTab for a while but it never quite felt "right" and all the tweaks to get rid of the top tab bar are such a pain. It almost seems like too much with all the nested tabs (I know you can turn these off) I hate to say it but the best vertical tab implementation I've seen is in Edge. Easily toggle-able between horizontal/vertical tabs, there's a way to collapse it to just favicons, you can use collections to group tabs together (like in Chrome). It's honestly one of the features that keeps me coming back to Edge, privacy be damned. I think the only feature I really miss from Firefox is container tabs.

    >nested tabs For many users this is TST's main benefit.
  - pbhjpbhj 5y ago
    Aren't those vertical tab features all from Opera?
    - TranquilMarmot 5y ago
      Probably, but Edge also has a lot of other features that I really like. It's all Chromium under the hood haha.

    Here is how i hide top tab bar with TreeStyleTab $ cat userChrome.css /* Hide horizontal tabs at the top of the window */ #main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar > .toolbar-items { opacity: 0; pointer-events: none; } #main-window:not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #TabsToolbar { visibility: collapse !important; } /* Hide the "Tree Style Tab" header at the top of the sidebar */ #sidebar-box[sidebarcommand="treestyletab_piro_sakura_ne_jp-sidebar-action"] #sidebar-header { display: none; }

Disable Pocket (two config toggles plus direct UI interaction with the Omnibar's Pocket icon) extensions.pocket.enabled = false extensions.pocket.onSaveRecs = false It sort of annoys me that 'pocket' can't just be disabled from the UI bar to hide it everywhere, but that's not nearly as annoying as the last link you provided... The Telemetry stuff is insanely invasive and really needs to all have one _system_ level toggle for it rather than the like _twenty_ different flags and settings (even with the 5 dupes from the article's dump cleaned up)... about:preferences#privacy Uncheck all . devtools.onboarding.telemetry.logged = false toolkit.telemetry.updatePing.enabled = false browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.telemetry = false browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.telemetry = false browser.ping-centre.telemetry = false toolkit.telemetry.bhrPing.enabled = false toolkit.telemetry.enabled = false toolkit.telemetry.firstShutdownPing.enabled = false toolkit.telemetry.hybridContent.enabled = false toolkit.telemetry.newProfilePing.enabled = false toolkit.telemetry.reportingpolicy.firstRun = false toolkit.telemetry.shutdownPingSender.enabled = false toolkit.telemetry.unified = false toolkit.telemetry.updatePing.enabled = false toolkit.telemetry.archive.enabled = false devtools.onboarding.telemetry.logged = false toolkit.telemetry.bhrPing.enabled = false datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled = false datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled = false datareporting.sessions.current.clean = true . toolkit.telemetry.server = "" (empty string)

  When I see this list, my question is, are there entries which are redundant and only in there, because the original author didn't understand them? From my understanding f.e. toolkit.telemetry.enabled = false Should disable everything under toolkit.telemetry.* Furthermore I would expect the UI flag to disable telemetry to overrule all other settings and globally disable telemetry
