A lot of these settings can be found in the excellent ArchWiki
article at [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox/Privacy#Configuration_tweaks|Firefox Privacy settings link]]
## Change user agent and platform ##
To change the user agent in firefox, add the following string key in *about:config:*
_general.useragent.override_
The value for the key is your browser's user agent. Select a known common one.
*Tip:* _The value Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0_ is used as the user agent for the Tor browser, thus being very common.
_*Warning: Changing the user agent without changing to a corresponding platform will make your browser nearly unique.*_
To change the platform for firefox, add the following string key in *about:config:*
_general.platform.override_
Select a known common platform that corresponds with your user agent.
*Tip:* _The value Win32 is used as the platform for the Tor browser, corresponding with the user agent provided above._
