#### Firefox
|
|
|
|
I use Firefox Hardened, but you can use Librewolf(fork of Firefox). For hardening, I use [BetterFox](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox), you can copy the settings from user.js from there.
|
|
```js
|
|
// Add a line at override settings in BetterFox
|
|
// PREF: restore Firefox accounts
|
|
user_pref("identity.fxaccounts.enabled", true);
|
|
```

Setup
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
I recommend to customise your own Windows ISO using [NTLite](https://www.ntlite.com/) or [MSMG Toolkit](https://msmgtoolkit.in/) and refer to [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLCWtC6UYrM) video for more information.
|
|
|
|
After installing, debloat your system using [this](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/) script. You might also want to use [Sophia Script](https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows) for more debloating and customisation of your system. (It requires your system to be on latest update which you might have Windows Update disabled based on your ISO file)
