Uhm... policies or user.js? Look at arkenfox, create an override, use their updater. Dont do about:config changes on your own. You can just copy-paste that user.js into the floorp profile.

Policies are also nice, mozilla has good documentation.

Floorp being based off ESR is the downside of all the fancy GUI tweaks, just like with Thunderbird. Would not want to use that. Like, JXL is already working in regular Firefox with the right build arguments

Yep, I've been through the user.js path and librewolf is also using it so I don't have to do it manually anymore. But there's more tweaks than that to reach a high level of privacy and I couldn't pass it until I found librewolf who integrates them.
I'm fine with librewolf policies and I like their general philosophy as well which is important to me as well when chosing an app.

Yes, Librewolf is basically Arkenfox. I made a project fixing Arkenfox for me.

It is probably not that well maintained and the general arkenfox stuff is not easy to deal with it, very overcomplex.

But basically you want to keep track of the updates but still override the things you like.

So arkenfox sucks in many ways, it is extremely "I hate mozilla" opinionated to a level where version update "whats new" dialogs are completely impossible. I would highly prefer a compartimentalized set of settings, but maintenance is hard.
