Privacy Settings

Alter Firefox's built-in privacy settings easily with a toolbar panel.

The Privacy Settings extension consolidates all built-in Firefox privacy and security settings into a single, easy-to-use toolbar panel. Each configurable option includes clear descriptions, allowing users to quickly adjust features such as network prediction, WebRTC IP handling, safe browsing, password saving, cookie policies, and more—all from one convenient popup.

Designed for seamless control, Privacy Settings helps enhance your browsing privacy by offering direct access to vital configurations without navigating through complex menus. Some settings may be disabled depending on Firefox support. For FAQs, updates, and technical support, users can visit the official Add0n site or the GitHub repository.
