user.js-tweaker for Android/Firefox Browsers

This will be the official user.js by pyllyukko and is maintained by CHEF-KOCH and community.

The project is under Apache License 2.0.

Project Goals

  • Merge all user.js settings into an addon + automatically sync it in case user.js has changed
  • Sync settings via Mozilla Sync feature
  • Create profiles for different security levels (strong, medium, low)
  • Add per-site (whitelist) support
  • Check/remove internal Firefox certificates which aren't needed in 99% of all time to lower attacks
  • Add Adroid Firefox support
  • Harden Firefox in general to not let the dark side win ! 👍
  • ....

What it can't fix

  • Chrome support (I will not add)
  • Firefox security related issue which needs to be fixed within the source code
  • Already infected installations which are faked or bundled/manipulated with OpenCandy/Trojans/SpyWare ...
  • Is not an alternative to Tor Firefox Bundle
  • Since the addon only loads with Firefox this can not close the hole between new installation of FF and automatically use the hardened settings from the beginning

ToDo

  • Write an GUI (currently the changes are only visible within the add-ons options menu) (low-prio)
  • Get an method to restrict the integrated certificates by maniulating the cert8.db file (high-prio)
  • Add translations (low-prio)
  • Add add-on signing, please read here (high-prio)
  • Add an account for addons.mozilla.org (high-prio)
  • Implement profile support (high-prio)
  • Add donate option (if needed) (low-prio)
  • Add tracking option (default opt-out) to grab latest about:config settings e.g. if someone uses Firefox Nighly's and want submit the current changes (low-prio)
  • Add Android support (seperate Android profile because Android needs other security related option which e.g. affects battery/wlan) (high-prio)
  • Fix all reported issue (Issue tracker closed right now because massive ToDo list - sorry!)
