Too many extensions, I think. Normal browsing without lags or delays? Not compatibility issues with BD and MB when both enabled real-time protection?

In fact my browsing is faster (on known sites) with those extensions and my custom user.js than without.
But it was hard work to get to this point, since i block everything except CSS & pictures until i whitelist it.
So i have to figure out what to whitelist to unbreak things etc.

After that point, there are no ressources loaded i don't want, which speeds up the general surfing until i hit a new site which i haven't whitelisted.
But this is a trade-off i can gladly accept.

To the Bitdefender and Malwarebytes thematic, i already said that i never experienced any problems with while both have real-time protection enabled.

good configuration.
although I think that there are too many browser accessories.
but how it suits you and do not create problems is ok.

Nothing else to add, even have the default search engine covered. Maybe look at articles online around hardening Firefox.

Apart from this very secure config. That's rare coming from me!

I bet it was a LOT of tweaking! It would be too much work for me.. but whatever floats your boat. :LOL: Nice set-up!(y)

Yep, it was a lot of tweaking for the Firefox, pfSense & VPN-Setup.
Firefox tweaking still continues, since every 6 weeks we have a new release.
