How about spoofing User-Agent?
Go to about:config, add a string-type preference named general.useragent.override with value Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/140.0. (Replace the number after rv: and Firefox/ to approriate ESR/stable version at the time you do that.)
If you are using r3dfox then you can also spoof only some specific sites by suffixing the domain name after preference name like general.useragent.override.jwx.org

A portable FF for all Linux Distributions or a portable FF for all existing OS's or a new Version of FF OS like the selfrunning DOSBox Pure Unleashed ! ^^

Enhanced Tracking Protection defaults to strict now. Other options are removed to match Librewolf behavior.

JodyThornton wrote: ↑25 Oct 2025, 15:40 Are you making similar Librewolf changes to the new ESR versions? (I almost hope not ...lol, but it is your browser)

Please don't do that. Keep the custom settings on.
Please please please

They will come in next release. I don't see any real negative to them though. Can you like give me a reason to not do it?

K4sum1 wrote: ↑26 Oct 2025, 04:48 But why? I don't see any reason you shouldn't just use strict mode.

Because:

I want to use my own cookies setting: cookies from unvisited websites. IMO all cross-site cookies is too strong for some sites so you have to add the site to the exceptions which disable the whole ETP for this site. Very bad.

I want to be able to select the windows it applies to: all windows or only in private windows. So I can instantly switch between a normal or a private window if needed.

I want to be able to disable suspected fingerprinters on the fly. I've noticed some parts of some sites won't load or even custom fonts won't load it it's enabled. Again adding the site to the exceptions is not a viable solution to me.

My old "News Paywall Bypass" which bypasses paywalls in newspapers and magazines, has stopped working. Anyone have an alternate suggestion?

K4sum1 wrote: ↑30 Oct 2025, 08:34 I decided to disable existing AI features in 144 because I don't see any real use for them. Better to just go to duck.ai or host the chats yourself.

Using the Fix sites issues options doesn't help.

I just realize the mistake, in (r3dfox dir)\config.cfg, the entry for browser.contentblocking.category uses pref instead of defaultPref. I'm not sure if this is required for it to be set by default, but it makes sense it would reset on boot. I'll see if changing this to defaultPref works, and if so then this should be fixed. For now just remove the line and it will stick with custom until next release.

So I took a look at that, and it appears to use WebAudio to fingerprint you, the user. If WebAudio is disabled, this fails, and it just decides fuck you and infinitely loads. If you really want to use the website, setting dom.webaudio.enabled to true fixes it.
