Been hearing about how the default config settings in FF are jacked, yet can't find anything specific on which options need to be tweaked. Can /g/ help me out?
Nothing wrong really but here are some links if you want to play around with about:config without having go Google every single entry manually.

>There are two times when Firefox will communicate with Mozilla’s partners while using Phishing and Malware Protection for sites. The first is during the regular updates to the lists of reporting phishing and malware sites. No information about you or the sites you visit is communicated during list updates. The second is in the event that you encounter a reported phishing or malware site. Before blocking the site, Firefox will request a double-check to ensure that the reported site has not been removed from the list since your last update. This request does not include the address of the visited site, it only contains partial information derived from the address.

It's also important to note that once you turn that setting off you can disable the google PREF cookie that the NSA uses to individually identify you on the web.
