For those who want to use Firefox with added security and privacy there is Arkenfox (github.com)

I prefer Librewolf as it is easier and simpler to use

Have you seen the user.js, you have to change a lot of settings and you cannot keep up to date with them, secondly Arkenfox prefers you to go over their user.js by your self and their updater script has the -c flag to show you the difference between current user.js and new user.js

Overall it would be very difficult to manage something like this on our own as most things are not visible on the settings page of Firefox
