Add-on?

What about making an add-on instead of fiddling with about:config by hand? Perhaps something similar to TorBirdy for Thunderbird? Thoughts?

+1

It should be fairly straightforward using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Low-Level_APIs/preferences_service

I won't do the addon myself, but I have experience with them. I'm available to help out via email/video call or whatever if needed.

I just came across #4 which may be a better fit for some users.

Nice! I found https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tinfoil/ too.

I just developed an SDK based addon based on this list: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-settings/ https://github.com/schomery/privacy-settings
