My Firefox Configuration

I like firefox, and I've tweaked it to be ideal for me. The extensions I have are:

• Dark reader: I prefer dark themes, so this applies one to websites. This works great except for my bank's website, which I've excluded in the plugin.

• Tridactyl: provides vim keybindings. It's intuitive and I'm fond of how it implemented bookmarks. I changed the theme to shydactyl-dark using:

  colors --url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eeshugerman/shydactyl-variations/master/dist/shydactyl-dark.css shydactyl-dark
  colourscheme shydactyl-dark
  

  When opening a new tab, there'd be a white canvas that immediately switched to dark-mode, a flash bang, which was disorienting. I found a solution on this github comment and applied it by opening $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/profile-dir/chrome/userContent.css and adding:

  /*
     dark background in new tabs without a white flash (with tridactyl newtab)
     @see: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/issues/2510
  */
  :root {
    --tridactyl-bg: #1d1b19 !important;
    --tridactyl-fg: white !important;
  }
  
  /*
      set the background color of the new tab page (without tridactyl or with tridactyl without newtab)
  */
  @-moz-document url-prefix(about:home), url-prefix(about:newtab) {
    body {
      background: #1d1b19;
    }
  }
  

• uBlock origin: ad blocker

• Leechblock NG: blocks sites that I don't want to visit. I have to add these sites to a block list though, but once done, it's difficult to open them. I've added youtube, twitter and more, and this helps me concentrate on important tasks.

• Remove youtube suggestions: blocks distracting features on youtube. I've removed the Explore link, Shorts link and End of Video suggestions.

• Tab Counter: shows how many windows and tabs I have open, and the number of tabs in the current window. This gives me a rough idea of whether my tabs are becoming unmanageable.

• SponsorBlock: skips sponsor sections in youtube videos.

I also change the following configs:

dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled = False
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx = 1.25
ui.systemUsesDarkTheme = true
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = true
browser.display.background_color = #000000
browser.display.foreground_color = #ffffff

I previously had a problem where the first menu item on right click would be chosen in firefox. I haven't experienced this in a while, but here's a solution just in case: soln for mouse clicking
