revamp 0200s 
- split geo related vs language/locale related
- we could remove the last item in the patch `intl.locale.requested`, or leave it in for info's sake: but I'm not even sure if what I wrote is still correct, and I'd rather not follow it: there's a UI for it
- we could add `privacy.spoof_english` in here as well (inactive)
- because these are active by default, for non en-US bundles we could add something about resetting `2010-2013` - as has been brought up at least three times in issues
- this is a draft, so fixups to typos, better wording etc are welcome

README.md

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 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.

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 this user.js is made specifically for Firefox. Using it as-is in other Gecko-based browsers can be counterproductive, especially in the Tor Browser.
