The purpose of this project is to provide a way to create new firefox profiles with security & privacy settings already preset.
I have also added some style customizations using userChrome.css which is also included in the creation of each profile.
The idea comes from my linux profile tools which are documented in a previous blog post: Firefox Profile Tools
Features #
creation of new profiles with:
- security & privacy related settings
- custom style overrides
- use RAM for caching
- custom find (top-right drop-down)
- shortcut to each profile
The script uses hardlinks to fix the issue in Windows 10 where you cannot pin firefox more than once.
With this script you can have a pinned shortcut on the start menu & the taskbar for each profile.
Custom Styles #
I have changed some of the default styling of firefox using a userChrome.css
file.
userChrome.css styles #
- move find bar to top
- move find to right styled as a dropdown
- add padding to items on bookmarks bar
- change folder icon in bookmarks to adwaita
Usage #
Download or clone repo from github.
Edit ffox_profiles.ps1
& add profiles you require to the profiles array
Run the script as an administrator
Pin shortcuts to each profile to the start menu / taskbar
The default path for created profiles is My Documents\ffox_profiles
