  • Arkenfox-softening

    Harden Firefox, but not so much. Keep tabs, allow WebRTC (Video Calls, Audio and Video streaming), save history for a few days, enable cachig for speed and maybe more.

  • You can download my changes here, and Arkenfox here. What you do is, open your profiles folder (visible in about:profiles, link it somewhere where you can easily find it!) And copy the user.js in it (Firefox has to be closed during that). Take my additions and copy paste them to the top of the script. Now there will be double lines, search for them (Kwrite etc. support that) and deactivate the original line with //.

  • InfluxDB
