Wherever I setup a new VM/PC and install FF, I always have to reset so many things:
Standard search SearXNG/DDG
New tab = blank page (privacy, no 3rd party request on new tab opening)
Delete Amazon, Google, etc ( out of spite)
Opt-out of analytics and studies
Change theme to dark
Add shortcut for other searches
Install ublock origin and ublock matrix (apparently redundant now, but I like visiting websites and blocking everything by default. Looking at you google analytics/fonts/etc.)
delete cookies on Exit
HYTPS only enable
add DNS (if not inside my network where it is handled on router level)
Still my favorite browser
FYI you can just copy over the settings directory to port all your config/passwords/bookmarks/profiles/history. On Linux it's in the
~/.mozilladirectory, on Windows it's somewhere in the user directory, AppData specifically IIRC.
