## BEFORE YOU BEGIN
I have attempted the following troubleshooting suggestions:
- [ ] The issue persists when using Firefox in [Troubleshoot Mode](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode).
- [ ] Disabled DNS-level content blocking (AdGuard Home, NextDNS, Control D, RethinkDNS, PiHole, etc), [cleared my DNS cache](https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-flush-your-dns-cache), and used my ISP's DNS resolver (if applicable).
- [ ] [Cleared website data](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox), restarted Firefox, and my issue persists.
- [ ] I have created a [new profile](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles). The issue persists when using the current [user.js](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/master/user.js) file on GitHub. (Must be in a new profile and a new user.js!)

* Disable DNS-level content blocking (such ad AdGuard Home, NextDNS, Control D, PiHole, etc) and [clear the DNS cache](https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-flush-your-dns-cache) and use ISP's DNS resolver (if applicable).
* [Clear website data](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox) and restart Firefox.

# Betterfox
[about:config](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox) tweaks to enhance [Mozilla Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/).

## Made for everyday browsing
[Faster](https://medium.com/@mihirgrand/comparing-popular-firefox-forks-6fa83fdfdaad#:~:text=31%25%20more%20than%20vanilla%20Firefox), more private and secure — without using third-party code.
Now with support for ESR [128](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/tree/esr128) :new:
Betterfox is an opinionated preference list inspired by the [law of diminishing returns](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1206/1*lcOcxriV_II_lZuXQYLoXg.jpeg) and the [minimum effective dose](https://medium.com/the-mission/less-is-more-the-minimum-effective-dose-e6d56625931e).
## Required reading
0) Create a [backup profile](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Backup).
1) Download the user.js file [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/main/user.js) (Right click > `Save Link As…`).
2) Review [Common Overrides](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Common-Overrides) and make any necessary changes.
* See also [Optional Hardening](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Optional-Hardening) for other recommendations.
2) Review both [Common Overrides](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Common-Overrides) and [Optional Hardening](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Optional-Hardening) to make any necessary changes.
3) Open Firefox. In the URL bar, type `about:profiles` and press **Enter**.
4) For the profile you want to use (or use default), click **Open Folder** in the **Root Directory** section.
4) For the profile you want to use, click **Open Folder** in the **Root Directory** section.
5) Move the `user.js` file into the folder.
*After restarting Firefox:*
1) Get an **ad blocker** like [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/blog/ublock-origin-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-ad-blocker/) with our [recommended filters](https://github.com/yokoffing/filterlists#guidelines).
2) Enable **DNS-level protection** with [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/?from=xujj63g5). <sup><i>Use the link and support this page!</i></sup>
* Check out our configuration [guide](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config) for the best experience.
* See how to [quickly enable](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dns-over-https) **secure DNS** in Firefox.

Betterfox is an opinionated preference list inspired by the [law of diminishing returns](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1206/1*lcOcxriV_II_lZuXQYLoXg.jpeg) and the [minimum effective dose](https://medium.com/the-mission/less-is-more-the-minimum-effective-dose-e6d56625931e).
2) Enable **DNS-level protection** with your chosen [provider](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Optional-Hardening#secure-dns) to further protect against security threats, ads, and trackers.
## Simple goals
