## 🚨 Twitch (or other websites) "Your browser is not currently supported. Please use a recommended browser or learn more here."
You will likely not be able to log in to Twitch using this config since it uses [RFP (Resist Fingerprinting)](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/3.3-Overrides-%5BTo-RFP-or-Not%5D#-fingerprinting), and therefore I recommend creating another Firefox profile for websites (like Twitch) that get pissy. It's easy, and not that bad of a solution, although not optimal.
Go to `about:profiles` \
Click `Create a New Profile` \
Click `Launch profile in new browser`
A new Firefox window should appear with a default Firefox. Use this only for websites you need, and you should be good to go. No need to configure it.
### 🟪 user.js
A `user.js` is a configuration file that can control Firefox settings - for a more technical breakdown and explanation, you can read more in the [wiki](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/2.1-User.js)
### 🟩 the arkenfox user.js
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
The `arkenfox 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 [wiki](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki), as it contains important information regarding a few `user.js` settings. There is also an [interactive current release](https://arkenfox.github.io/gui/), thanks to [icpantsparti2](https://github.com/icpantsparti2).
Note that we do *not* recommend connecting over Tor on Firefox. Use the [Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en) if your [threat model](https://2019.www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html) calls for it, or for accessing hidden services.
Also be aware that the `arkenfox user.js` is made specifically for desktop Firefox. Using it as-is in other Gecko-based browsers can be counterproductive, especially in the Tor Browser.
