I prefer Librewolf as it is easier and simpler to use

    That is not how Arkenfox works. You apply the patch using the script, and then re-run this patch everytime Arkenfox receives an update. In between running, you can change settings in about:config and settings, but it will be overwritten if a different value is included in the user.js. A more permanent solution is using the user-overrides.js file required by the script before patching to create a persistent config.

    Something like: user_prefs(“privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing” , “false”);

    More details about user overrides can be found here.

      I have independently tested you can change settings before. I will test again tomorrow if I remember to.

      What I’m trying to point out here, is that prefs declared in user.js (whether they are put there using scripting or otherwise) cannot be persistently modified at runtime from within Firefox. That may or may not be a huge problem, but something to be aware of.
