Tree style tabs
If only it was easier to remove the default tabs from firefox so you don’t have duplicate tabs. I recently had problems getting the userCSS to do its thing, trying different directories. In the end the problem however was that I tried to link it with a symbolic link which for some reason doesn’t work.
It’s easy. I’ve had that removed in my config for over a decade
I got it work too but wouldn’t call it easy. My process involves going to about:config to enable some variable that has a super long name. Then find out where the profiles are saved and remember not to use the “cached” directory version which I always end up on first. Then selecting one of the cryptic profile names and creating some specific directory structure and copying or linking (but no soft linking) my config there.
A simple checkbox in the settings would be nice, or another browser extension. Or is there an easier process?
I usually don’t get to post anything in these because everyone basically uses the same plugins to unfuck the internet so heres a few that haven’t been posted yet

Wayback Machine and also archive.is’s addons. I archive webpages frequently so they’re super helpful. And if a webpage has been taken down you can easily go to an archived version with the Wayback addon.
Also, Vimium C. Not for everyone and definitely down to personal preference rather than “I recommend this to everyone”, but I’d struggle to browse the web comfortably without it.
Im using Firefox/a fork of it - please note that many of the below mentioned extensions either only exist for Firefox or don’t work well with Chromium browsers due to manifest V3.
- UBlock Origin
- I still don’t care about cookies
- CanvasBlocker
- Multi account containers
- Dark Reader
- FlagFox
- (Bitwarden)
Id replace „still dont care about cookies“ with consent-o-magic. It actually deselects tracking cookies instead of ignoring/acknowleding them
Thanks for the tip!
FlagFox
This one is really useful, thanks!
if you’re going for ultimate privacy… none, ironically.
I disagree on that one. Ad blocking and tracking blocking will be more private.
Ok fair enough
Outside of what has already been mentioned, I still don’t care about cookies and cookie autodelete in tandem. The first accepts cookies. The second deletes them when you are done.
Cookie autodelete is useless if you use Firefox on strict mode.
Or use Consent-o-matic to not accept cookies
Ublock Origin, NoScript, Chameleon, Libredirect, DarkReader, OneTab, Stack Overflow Prettifier, Classic Mode For Wikipedia, Vimium
Detrumpify
Ublock Origin, dark reader, bitwarden and user agent switcher if websites are throwing a fit about firefox.
Metamask, excellent extension.

LibRedirect. Excellent one, that.
I haven’t seen anyone mention these yet
LibRedirect - redirects common proprietary sites to a free and open source alternative Tampermonkey - allows you to find and install custom open source scripts that add functionality to websites
Check out ViolentMonkey, it’s an open source userscript manager
I think that’s basically the same thing as Tampermonkey. There’s also GreasyFork which hosts custom scripts.
Yeah, except you can check what it does, how it works, and make changes to it.
That’s what he said “an open source” (alternative) . If it’s basically the same, then violentmonkey is the way to go.
Vimium.
is there a way to disable the plugin stopping when you get to a Firefox page like settings? It’s really annoying to be using hotkeys to scroll through tabs then just get stuck and have to use mouse
Test adding the preferences page to “excluded URLs” in the settings of vimium.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen any recommendations for “Indie Wiki Redirect” as Fandom (the wiki site, common for games) has started shoving ads down users throats, so wiki maintainers are moving to other sites like wiki.gg, but search engines still show Fandom as the first result.
