## 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!)

# 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/).
# Betterfox 128 ESR
These prefs are applicable for:
* [Firefox ESR 128.0](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switch-to-firefox-extended-support-release-esr) <sup>[^more info](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-esr-release-cycle)</sup>
* [Waterfox G7](https://github.com/WaterfoxCo/Waterfox)
* [Floorp ESR 128](https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/tree/ESR128)
* etc
## 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.
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).
Using regular Firefox? [Switch back to the main branch](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox).
## 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 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.
1) Download the user.js file [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/esr128/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.
3) Open Firefox. In the URL bar, type `about:profiles` and press **Enter**.
4) For the profile you want to use, click **Open Folder** in the **Root Directory** section.
4) For the profile you want to use (or use default), 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 your chosen [provider](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/wiki/Optional-Hardening#secure-dns) to further protect against security threats, ads, and trackers.
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.
## Simple goals
1) **Minimalism:** get what isn't needed out of the way
2) **Efficiency:** unleash Firefox's ability to be fast and performant
3) **Privacy:** protect your data without causing site breakage
## Simple configs
`Fastfox`, `Securefox`, `Peskyfox`, and `Smoothfox` are guides to settings within Firefox.
The `user.js` — a configuration file that controls Firefox settings — is curated from these guides.
| List | Description |
|:---------:|-------------|
| [Fastfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Fastfox.js) | Increase Firefox's browsing speed. Give Chrome a run for its money!|
| [Securefox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Securefox.js) | Protect user data without causing site breakage. |
| [Peskyfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Peskyfox.js) | Provide a clean, distraction-free browsing experience. |
| [Smoothfox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Smoothfox.js) | Get Edge-like smooth scrolling on your favorite browser — or choose something more your style. |
| [user.js](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/user.js) | All the essentials. None of the breakage. This is your `user.js`. |

install(-betterfox).py
Usage:
python install.py
When called without arguments, it will:
- Backup your current firefox profile
- Automatically download user.js from the latest Betterfox release compatible with your Firefox version into the profile
- Apply user-overrides in the same directory
However, you can check out install.py/betterfox-install.exe --help to customise most behaviours!
Limitations:
- When using a different repositoy as a source, that repository needs to use the same releases workflow
- Over time, the get_releases might not list older releases due to limited page size. This can be expanded down the road, though
Building into an exe (on Windows):
- pipx install pyinstaller (note: you can try without pipx, but this didn't work for me)
- Run:
- CMD: `pyinstaller --onefile --name install-betterfox install.py && move %cd%\\dist\\install-betterfox.exe %cd% && del install-betterfox.spec && rmdir /S /Q build && rmdir dist`
- BASH: `pyinstaller --onefile --name install-betterfox install.py && && mv dist/install-betterfox.exe . && rm install-betterfox.spec && rm -rf ./build/ && rmdir dist`
(Sorry, didn't want to add a .gitignore solely for the install script)
- Done!
If there's any problems with the script, feel free to mention @Denperidge on GitHub!
