# FireFox Privacy Script
[](https://github.com/sponsors/simeononsecurity)
Organizations like [PrivacyTools.io](https://www.privacytools.io/browsers/#about_config) and [ffprofile](https://ffprofile.com/) have suggested changes to make FireFox more secure and private.
These changes cover suggested browser extensions, blocking telemetry, disabling 3rd-party cookies, disabling trackers, etc.
This script will take the pregenerated FireFox configuration files and install them in the proper directories on either Windows or Linux systems.
