Apparentemente, Firefox può sembrare un browser come tutti gli altri, come Chromium e Opera, ma non è così. La sua vera forza sta nella personalizzazione dell’esperienza utente. Come fare? Prima di tutto, bisogna modificare alcune dei parametri interni del browser. Pensiamo prima alla performance:

network.http.pipelining; true
network.http.pipelining.ssl; true
network.http.proxy.pipelining; true
network.http.max-connections-per-server; 48
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server; 32
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy; 32
nglayout.initialpaint.delay; 0
content.notify.backoffcount; 5
network.dnsCacheEntries; 100
network.dnsCacheExpiration; 3600 (seconds)

Ora alla privacy:

geo.enabled; false
geo.wifi.uri; https://www.dephormation.org.uk/geolocation/geolocation.php (o lasciatelo vuoto)
browser.search.suggest enabled; false
dom.storage.enabled; false (could cause page load problems)
intl.locale.matchOS; false
browser.sessionhistory.max_entries; 5 (or whatever you want)
general.useragent.override; Your Agent String Here (vedere Useragentstring.com per una lista immensa)

Needed to help user agent string persist:
general.oscpu.override; Windows NT 6.1 (NT 6.1 is for Win 7. Use NT 6.2, 6.0 or 5.1 for Win 8, Vista & XP x86)
general.appversion.override; 5.0 (not necessary in Windows)
generial.useragent.vendor; Microsoft (not necessary in Windows…duh)
general.useragent.vendorComment; [make blank or delete]
general.useragent.vendorSub; [make blank or delete]

browser.send_pings.require_same_host; true
network.http.sendRefererHeader; 0 (set to 1 or back to 2 if you have page load problems)
network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer; false (could cause page load problems)
network.prefetch-next; false
network.dns.disablePrefetch; true
network.http.use-cache; false (could negatively impact browser speed)
browser.sessionstore.privacy_level; 1
browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash; false
network.cookie.lifetimePolicy; 2
browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl; false
browser.cache.offline.enable; false
browser.cache.memory.capacity; [512 MB should be fine for most people]
browser.safebrowsing.enabled; false
browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled; false
network.dns.disableIPv6; true
extensions.blocklist.enabled; false
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled; false
browser.search.defaultenginename; [The format is the same as for the keyword.url string.]
breakpad.reportURL; (delete value entry)
extensions.getAddons.cache.enabled; false
dom.batter.enabled; false

Ora passiamo alla seconda parte, e cioè quali componenti aggiuntivi installare nel browser. Essi sono piccoli programmi che aggiungono ulteriori funzionalità a Firefox.
