/* 4501: enable privacy.resistFingerprinting [FF41+]
* [SETUP-WEB] RFP can cause some website breakage: mainly canvas, use a site exception via the urlbar
* RFP also has a few side effects: mainly timezone is UTC0, and websites will prefer light theme
* [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/418986 ***/
// Reason: Still using the arkenfox setting, causes sites to be unable to detect system theme (dark vs light)
// user_pref("privacy.resistFingerprinting", false);
/* 4504: enable RFP letterboxing [FF67+]
* Dynamically resizes the inner window by applying margins in stepped ranges [2]
* If you use the dimension pref, then it will only apply those resolutions.
* The format is "width1xheight1, width2xheight2, ..." (e.g. "800x600, 1000x1000")
* [SETUP-WEB] This is independent of RFP (4501). If you're not using RFP, or you are but
* dislike the margins, then flip this pref, keeping in mind that it is effectively fingerprintable
* [WARNING] DO NOT USE: the dimension pref is only meant for testing
* [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1407366
* [2] https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/6d2d7856e468#l2.32 ***/
// Reason: Disabled as this really makes video players and sites take up much less space
