Unfortunately the Android version of Firefox <a href="https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/issues/465">doesn't yet have Temporary Container support</a>.

<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">This is a collection of privacy-related <strong>about:config</strong> tweaks. We'll show you how to enhance the privacy of your Firefox browser.</div>

<li>Press the button "Accept the Risk and Continue" [FF71+] or "I accept the risk".</li>
<li>Copy and paste each of the preferences below (for example "webgl.disabled") into the search bar, and set each of them to the stated value (such as "true").</li>
</ol>
<h3>Getting started:</h3>
<dl class="long-string-list">
<dt>privacy.firstparty.isolate = true</dt>
<dd>A result of the <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Tor_Uplift">Tor Uplift</a> effort, this preference isolates all browser identifier sources (e.g. cookies) to the first party domain, with the goal of preventing tracking across different domains. (Don't do this if you are using the Firefox Addon "Cookie AutoDelete" with Firefox v58 or below.)</dd>
<dt>privacy.resistFingerprinting = true</dt>
<dd>A result of the <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Tor_Uplift">Tor Uplift</a> effort, this preference makes Firefox more resistant to browser fingerprinting.</dd>

<dd>[FF67+] Blocks Fingerprinting</dd>
<dt>privacy.trackingprotection.cryptomining.enabled = true</dt>
<dd>[FF67+] Blocks CryptoMining</dd>
<dt>privacy.trackingprotection.enabled = true</dt>
<dd>This is Mozilla's new built-in tracking protection. One of it's benefits is blocking tracking (i.e. Google Analytics) on <a href="https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/Privileged-Pages">privileged pages</a> where add-ons that usually do that are disabled.</dd>

<dd>The attribute would be useful for letting websites track visitors' clicks.</dd>
<dt>browser.urlbar.speculativeConnect.enabled = false</dt>
<dd>Disable preloading of autocomplete URLs. Firefox preloads URLs that autocomplete when a user types into the address bar, which is a concern if URLs are suggested that the user does not want to connect to. <a href="https://www.ghacks.net/2017/07/24/disable-preloading-firefox-autocomplete-urls/">Source</a></dd>
<dt>dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled = false</dt>

<dd>Disables the Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc., used for the playback of DRM-controlled HTML5 content. <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enable-drm#w_disable-the-google-widevine-cdm-without-uninstalling">Details</a></dd>
<dt>media.navigator.enabled = false</dt>
<dd>Websites can track the microphone and camera status of your device.</dd>

</ul>
</dd>
<dt>network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy = 2</dt>
<dd>
Only send <code>Referer</code> header when the full hostnames match. (Note: if you notice significant breakage, you might try <code>1</code> combined with an <code>XOriginTrimmingPolicy</code> tweak below.) <a href="https://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/tweaking-referrer-for-privacy-in-firefox/">Source</a>
<ul>
<li>0 = Send <code>Referer</code> in all cases</li>

<ul>
<li>0 = Send full url in <code>Referer</code></li>
<li>1 = Send url without query string in <code>Referer</code></li>
<li>2 = Only send scheme, host, and port in <code>Referer</code></li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt>webgl.disabled = true</dt>
<dd>WebGL is a potential security risk. <a href="https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/13799/is-webgl-a-security-concern">Source</a></dd>
<dt>browser.sessionstore.privacy_level = 2</dt>
<dd>

<dt>Disable Firefox prefetching pages it thinks you will visit next:</dt>
<dd>
Prefetching causes cookies from the prefetched site to be loaded and other potentially unwanted behavior.

<dt>network.IDN_show_punycode = true</dt>
<dd>Not rendering IDNs as their Punycode equivalent leaves you open to phishing attacks that can be very difficult to notice. <a href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/03/look-alike-domains-and-visual-confusion/#more-42636">Source</a></dd>
