ConfigFox is an utility to manage Firefox advanced, hidden settings and tweaks, mostly concerning security and privacy. With a single click you can turn on/off settings that are not offered in the Firefox preferences.

With ConfigFox you can manage multiple profiles independently. It is compatible with all Firefox builds: Waterfox, Palemoon, Tor, Portable, etc...
If you don't have Firefox installed in your computer you will be prompted to select your custom Firefox path (executable).

Features
- Quickly create and customize Firefox profiles.
- Easily enable/disable settings with one click.
- Quickly search Config entries.
- Get updates for Config collection.
- Backup, Defrag and Vacuum profiles for a faster performance.
- View profile information.
- Search online for Config strings information.

How it works
ConfigFox have a collection of Firefox advanced and hidden settings. This collection is the default.js file inside ConfigFox folder. By default, the collection have only entries that cannot be set from Firefox itself. But you can customize it as you please.
