+Fedora Atomic ships with the Firefox browser preinstalled. This
+section describes how I like to set it up.
+
+** Remove clutter
+
+*** Remove =Firefox View=, right click the upper left icon and select =Remove from toolbar=.
+
+*** Remove existing bookmarks from bookmark bar, right click each one and select =Delete=.
+
+*** Remove =Pocket=, right click the pocket icon in the upper right toolbar, select =Remove from toolbar=

+
+** Firefox Settings
+
+Go into the Firefox settings: click the "hamburger" menu in the top
+right toolbar. Select =Settings=.
+
+*** General Settings
+
+**** Select =Open previous windows and tabs=
+
+**** Turn on Dark mode
+
+**** Turn off =Recommend extensions as you browse=
+
+**** Turn off =Recommend features as you browse=
+
+*** Home settings
+
+**** =New Windows and Tabs=
+
+Select =Blank Page= for both new windows and tabs.
+
+**** Firefox Home Content
+
+The home content won't show if you set =Blank Page= above, but I go
+ahead and turn off all the home stuff anyway.
+
+
+*** Search Settings
+
+**** Choose a non-Google default search engine, eg. =DuckDuckGo=.
+
+**** Turn off all Search Suggestions
+
+**** Delete all the corporate Search Shortcuts other than your preferred one (eg. DuckDuckGo).
+
+You can select each one and click =Remove= or you can press the Delete
+key. Delete Google, Amazon, Bing, eBay, Wikipedia etc.
+
+*** Privacy & Security settings
+
+**** Enhanced Tracking Protection, select =Strict=
+
+**** Set =Do Not Track= to =Always=
+
+**** Logins and Passwords
+
+Unselect =Suggest Firefox relay email masks=
+
+Unselect =Show alerts about passwords for breached websites= (You
+already use unique passwords for every website, right??)
+
+**** IMPORTANT: select =Use a Primary Password=
+
+Without setting a primary password, any password that firefox saves
+will be **unencrypted**! You must set a primary (master) password, and
+you will need to type it in each time you restart your browser, to
+unlock the password manager.
+
+**** Address Bar - Firefox Suggest
+
+Unselect =Search engines=
+
+Unselect =Suggestions from the web=
+
+Unselect =Suggestions from sponsors=

+access points, you should choose =Max Protection=.
+
+
+** Extensions and Themes
+
+From the Settings menu, near the bottom, click =Extensions & Themes=.
+
+*** Themes
+
+Choose a theme you like. For example, click =Dark= and then click =Enable=.
+
+*** Extensions
+
+Go to [[https://addons.mozilla.org][addons.mozilla.org]] and install the following extensions:
+
+[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/darkreader/][Dark Reader]]
+
+Dark reader makes all sites darker, and you can customize each site by
+clicking on the Dark Reader extension in the menu bar.
+
+[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin][Ublock Origin]]
+
+Disables almost all ads on all websites. There's not much to configure
+here, it basically works out of the box. However, you can customize it
+per site if you want to enable ads on certain pages.
+
+[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript][NoScript]]
+
+By default, all sites will have javascript disabled. On each site you
+trust, you can customize the javascript availability by clicking the
+NoScript extension in the menu bar.
+
+[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/][Vimium]]
+
+Once vimium is installed, click the icon in the menu bar and click
+=Enable all hosts permission=.
+
+[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/][Firefox Multi-Account Containers]]
+
+Read about [[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers][how to use Firefox Containers]]. Configure sites you trust to
+open in specific containers, that way you can save your cookies per
+container. By default, new sites will always open in temporary ones,
+and so when you close your browser all the cookies for that site
+disappears.
