Closing Words: While it is generally not recommended to disable the installation of updates, it should be up to the user to make that decision in my opinion. Yes, it would be great if all users would run the latest version of Firefox but users have multiple reasons for not wanting to update. While it is more difficult to block update checking entirely in Firefox, an option to do so still exists even in Firefox 63 and future versions released after Firefox 63.

userChrome.css is a style sheet with special importance to Firefox. The rules in userChrome.css are applied to the user interface, and can override nearly every built-in style rule. Unfortunately, you cannot use userChrome.css to change the functional operation of Firefox; that's what extensions are for. Creating a userChrome.css file and adding style rules allows you to make changes to fonts and colors, hide unnecessary items, adjust spacing, and make other changes to the appearance of Firefox. The following examples illustrate the wide range of effects you can create, either by creating your own style recipes, or building on the work of CSS wizards sharing their talents on the web.

Greasemonkey 4 is changing how it runs user scripts. Many user scripts will continue to run as expected, but this will break some scripts. If you rely on such scripts, you might want to install Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey, both of which provide compatibility for existing scripts. If you'd prefer to stick with Greasemonkey, you'll need to wait for the script to be updated to be compatible. Find the original author of your script, and ask them to update for Greasemonkey 4 compatibility. Referencing this post may help.

Mozilla has created a support page that lists all the connections that Firefox make without explicit permission of the user. As you can see, quite a few are listed there. While some are enabled after user activity, for instance adding live bookmarks to the browser, others are enabled by default. This guide looks at the latter kind, explains what their use is, and how you can disable them if you do not require them.

Firefox stores a user's personal information such as bookmarks, extensions, and user preferences in a unique profile. The first time you start Firefox, it will automatically create a default profile; additional profiles can be created using the Profile Manager. The settings which form a profile are stored in files within a special folder on your computer — this is the profile folder.

When editing userChrome.css, you must add CSS selectors based on the element names and IDs/classes of the XUL user interface. There is no comprehensive listing of every single possible selector to use when styling the user interface (just as it would be silly to create such a comprehensive list for a web page), but a few of the more common and interesting selectors are listed below. The best way to discover how to select an element in the user interface is to use the DOM Inspector.

You can inspect the Firefox user interface directly with DOM Inspector. (Which is not the same Inspector as in the Web Developer menu.) [addons.mozilla.org] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dom-inspector-6622/Click the icon in the upper-left corner of DOMi, the one with a pointer on it, then click anywhere in the browser to select an element; that element will be highlighted in the left column. Right-click the highlighted entry to display a context menu: "Copy Selector" suggests selectors for the element, "Set Pseudo-classes..." lets you switch on :hover. Notice that the browser itself is a document with its own URI, chrome://browser/content/browser.xul, Most of the browser chrome is XUL, but some, such as the Stylish editor, is HTML embedded in XUL. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XUL

Firefox and other XULRunner applications store user settings and data in special folders, called profiles. Firefox provides a built-in applet to manage these profiles, but it will eventually be going away (see bug 214675), so a new standalone Profile Manager application has been created, which works with any XULRunner application, and has many features not found in Firefox's built-in version.
