- don't need any of those peerconnection prefs other than the main one
- the chance that somebody ends up in WebIDE despite the menu having been hidden with .enabled is already slim to none. But if they do then autoinstallADBExtension already stops the download of the ADB extension. And even if it didn't - just uninstall it again. NP! the super paranoid can add the URL in their overrides if they want.

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.
