This is personaly NARGA Firefox's tweaks which focusing on debloated, speed, performance UI/UX, and more to enhance Firefox's productivity with some tweaks, disabling or removing unnecessary features, component, bloatware as well.

user.js's Issues

Great stuff you have! Some additional suggestions from my side...

Dear all!

Great stuff you have! Some additional suggestions from my side...

Please, have a look at https://github.com/gunnersson and, to be more precise, at https://github.com/gunnersson/my_Mozilla_settings !

That's my repo and project. There's no intention of bad rivalry, but just good competition by me. In fact, there are many users and repos at GitHub of similar idea and content.

But it would be my intention to bring them all a bit together for sharing and collecting.

Maybe, in this way Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird could be a real joy for many people...

Thank you and kind regards,

Gunner
