* README:

  0. Consider using Tor Browser if it meets your needs or fits your threat model better
     * https://www.torproject.org/about/torusers.html.en
  1. READ the full README
     * https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/blob/master/README.md
  2. READ this
     * https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/wiki/1.3-Implementation
  3. If you skipped steps 1 and 2 above (shame on you), then here is the absolute minimum
     * Real time binary checks with Google services are disabled (0402)
     * You will still get prompts to update Firefox, but auto-installing them is disabled (0302a)
     * Some user data is erased on close (section 2800). Change this to suit your needs
     * EACH RELEASE check:
         - 4600s: reset prefs made redundant due to privacy.resistFingerprinting (RPF)
                  or enable them as an alternative to RFP or for ESR users
         - 9999s: reset deprecated prefs in about:config or enable relevant section(s) for ESR
     * Site breakage WILL happen
         - There are often trade-offs and conflicts between Security vs Privacy vs Anti-Fingerprinting
           and these need to be balanced against Functionality & Convenience & Breakage
     * You will need to make changes, and to troubleshoot at times (choose wisely, there is always a trade-off).
       While not 100% definitive, search for "[SETUP". If required, add each pref to your overrides section at
       default values (or comment them out and reset them in about:config). Here are the main ones:
       [SETUP-SECURITY] it's one item, read it
            [SETUP-WEB] can cause some websites to break
         [SETUP-CHROME] changes how Firefox itself behaves (i.e. NOT directly website related)
           [SETUP-PERF] may impact performance
         [SETUP-HARDEN] maybe you should consider using the Tor Browser
     * [WARNING] tags are extra special and used sparingly, so heed them
  4. BACKUP your profile folder before implementing (and/or test in a new/cloned profile)
  5. KEEP UP TO DATE: https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/wiki#small_orange_diamond-maintenance

/*** [SECTION 0300]: QUIET FOX
     Starting in user.js v67, we only disable the auto-INSTALL of Firefox. You still get prompts
     to update, in one click. We have NEVER disabled auto-CHECKING, and highly discourage that.
     Previously we also disabled auto-INSTALLING of extensions (302b).

     There are many legitimate reasons to turn off auto-INSTALLS, including hijacked or monetized
     extensions, time constraints, legacy issues, dev/testing, and fear of breakage/bugs. It is
     still important to do updates for security reasons, please do so manually if you make changes.

/*** [SECTION 1600]: HEADERS / REFERERS
     Only *cross domain* referers need controlling and XOriginPolicy (1603) is perfect for that. Thus we enforce
     the default values for 1601, 1602, 1605 and 1606 to minimize breakage, and only tweak 1603 and 1604.

     Our default settings provide the best balance between protection and amount of breakage.
     To harden it a bit more you can set XOriginPolicy (1603) to 2 (+ optionally 1604 to 1 or 2).
     To fix broken sites (including your modem/router), temporarily set XOriginPolicy=0 and XOriginTrimmingPolicy=2 in about:config,
     use the site and then change the values back. If you visit those sites regularly (e.g. vimeo), use an extension.
