Librefox is a privacy- and security-hardened packaging of Firefox that applies 500+ settings, patches, and optional addons without forking the browser. It strips telemetry, updater, and calling-home components, and locks key settings via mozilla.cfg and policies..

Use cases

  • harden firefox against tracking and fingerprinting
  • use firefox with zero telemetry and no calling home
  • lock down browser settings so extensions can't change them
  • limit internet access of browser extensions with a firewall
  • get a privacy-focused browser on windows, linux, or mac
  • run a tor-ready hardened firefox configuration

When to choose

  • you want a hardened Firefox without switching to a fork like Librewolf or Waterfox
  • you need enforced, locked privacy settings via mozilla.cfg and policies.
  • you want an extensions firewall and telemetry-free browsing out of the box

When to avoid

  • you want a project with frequent recent releases (last release was March 2021)
  • you prefer a maintained fork with its own release channel and updater
  • you need official Mozilla support or association
