"privacy.resistFingerprinting" = false;
"privacy.clearOnShutdown.history" = false;
"privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies" = false;
"network.cookie.lifetimePolicy" = 0;
};

"uBlock0@raymondhill.net" = {
install_url = "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/latest/ublock-origin/latest.xpi";
installation_mode = "force_installed";
};
"{73a6fe31-595d-460b-a920-fcc0f8843232}" = {
