Any recommendations for that? Arkenfox comes to mind

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I haven't actually done any testing as of yet

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

In my brief testing, using Arkenfox didn't work for Fennec for me. It wouldn't connect to any site.

I am rooted, and copied the user.js to data/data/org.mozilla.fennec_froid/files/mozilla/[xxxxxxx].default and deleted prefs.js

Checked about:config _config.is.applied and it was set to true.

Couldn't even browse to any site.

So I am going to have to do some more research.

Just apply the ones that are in mulls repo. There's a write up on how to apply user js to android ff variants in better fox's issue tracker

From Betterfox's repo is where I got the instructions.

However, with Mull going away,, I wonder how long the user.js from Mulls repo will be viable.

Edit: also trying to find the user.js that Mull uses is proving difficult for my dumbass.

Oh, apologies I read the edit wrong. Here's where mull's user.js is

https://github.com/Divested-Mobile/Mull-Fenix/tree/master/preferences

NOTE: line 562 will break remote debugging, which all of those who are unrooted will need to apply the user.js.

Comment this line out to allow for remote debugging.

Luckily I am rooted, so theoretically I can leave that right?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Yep you should be fine

~~I'll prob get downvoted for this, but paste the instructions into an LLM and have it assist you.~~ misread OP's comment

As for user.js prefs potentially aging out, arkenfox updates very rarely (once every few months IIRC), so the present user.js should be fine for a while until someone inevitably forks and maintains mull.

Personally I had to change mulls prefs('<...>') to user_prefs or vice versa to get it to work.
