![]() Note, what above may appear as the last couple of lines is actually just one long line beginning with LD_LIBRARY and ending with "$LAUNCHDIR/libre" LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LAUNCHDIR/:$LAUNCHDIR/extralibs$ "$LAUNCHDIR/firefox" -profile "$LAUNCHDIR/libre" I then edited the ‘ff’ file in the librefo圆4 folder to be named ‘lf’ [small ‘l’ (phonetic ‘el’) and to read: So I duplicated my portable-firefo圆4 folder giving the duplicate the name ‘librefo圆4’. ![]() Except that ‘js’ is an acronym for java-script I know nothing about these and was concerned that librefox’s version might interfere with my expectations for the functioning of firefox when I chose NOT to employ librefox. (portable-)firefox has its own defaults/pref/ folder with a different script. But one of the files contained in the download was /defaults/pref/local-setting.js. I had intended to merely add it as a ‘profile’ option to my current firefox-portable: add a ‘lf’ script to start firefox by duplicating>editing its current ‘ff’ script, and creating a ‘libre’ profile in addition to the current ‘profile’ created and called by ‘ff’. The librefox enhancements can be deployed by downloading Librefox-2.1-Firefox-Linux-64.0.0.zip from here,, extracting it, and copying the extracted files into a firefox-portable folder. Librefox offers a couple of addons of its own AFAIK only available when it’s been employed. But –not surprisingly- firefox modified by the librefox enhancements accepted the addons I had used previously. However, while Brinkmann suggests that it can use firefox’s current profile my attempt to do so using firefox-portable was unsuccessful*. The upside is that it works with the latest version of firefox and even fredx181’s portable. The downside is that it appears not to have been updated since 2018. ancements/ “.The project uses the Ghacks user.js and other information to create a browser that offers better privacy and security out of the box.” Rather, as explained by Martin Brinkmann. There being several 'mozilla & clones' web-browsers which can be hardened I've decided it's not worth my time to diagnose the issues presented by a method which was last maintained 4 years ago. But it's worth exploring.Įdit Mar 20, 22: Maybe worth exploring, but not by me. Protects against homograph IDN attacks.64-bit only, and I have some doubts.Disables scripting in the built-in PDF reader.Enables stricter negotiation rules for TLS/SSL.Firefox security patches are applied to prevent vulnerabilities.It uses CRL as a certificate revocation mechanism.Disable cache and clear temporary on close.It also disables link preloading and speculative connections.Force DNS and WebRTC inside a proxy server for added security.Use Mozilla's location API, less invasive than Google's.Protects from the language tracker of the browser and the operating system.Tor Uplift or RFP to avoid fingerprints while browsing.Tracking Protection in strict mode to block trackers.Only include search engines that respect your privacy, such as those listed above.System to delete cookies and data from the website when closing. ![]() You just have to see its list of features to realize it: Among other things, an improved security system has been included, a search engine such as DuckDUckGo, Startpage, Searx and Owant, among others, as well as an integrated ad blocker and all telemetry functions have been removed, making it one of the browsers that respect your privacy the most.Īlso, of course it's from open source, free, cross-platform (available for various Linux, OpenBSD, MacOS, and Windows distros), and quite promising in many ways. It is a derivative of Mozilla Firefox, but modified to protect privacy and anonymity for the user. If you are looking for a good alternative to web browsers like Brave or Tor Browser, then you should know LibreWolf. ![]()
