Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Without disabling fingerprinting, zoom options aren't saved, dark mode doesn't really work and Netflix is blocked. But is it even worth running Librewolf if you enable fingerprinting? Isn't that one of the main reasons why one runs Librewolf?

You could move from privacy.resistfingerprinting to privacy.fingerprintingProtection and override the changes you want with privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides such as +AllTargets,-CSSPrefersColorScheme.

I guess to enable Netflix you would have to enable DRM which is probably somewhere in LibreWolf documentation.

For the available overrides, see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/resistfingerprinting/RFPTargets.inc although you may have to guess what they do based on the name.

The privacy.resistfingerprinting option works the same way in Librewolf as it does in Firefox, it's just that it's on by default. Having it break the website zoom is also a choice that Firefox made. In either browser, you'll need to use an extension if you want both.
