firefox profiles with security presets & userchrome styles
The purpose of this project is to provide a way to create new firefox profiles with security & privacy settings already preset.
It also includes some style customizations using userChrome.css.
Clone this repo and copy the files somewhere accessible.
You can then rename/copy the script to the profile name required (script filename = profile name).
Optionally you may also want to change the profile_folder variable (default is $HOME/.ffox_profiles)
