Important

I think this script is currently broken as it was not working for me when I last tried

Firefox

Important

Auto-update capabilities are not available as updates are disabled after installing Firefox with the script. Alternatively, you can run the script at startup with task scheduler to check for updates when Windows boots.

Usage

Open PowerShell as administrator and enter the command below.

irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iggnas/firefox/main/setup.ps1" | iex

Notes

• Install language dictionaries for spell-checking

• Optionally configure and clean up the interface further in Menu Settings -> More tools -> Customize toolbar then skim through about:preferences. The Arkenfox user.js can also be imported, see the wiki

• A less privacy-focused alternative for the Arkenfox user.js, Betterfox is also available for users who don't wish to spend time debugging potential issues with Arkenfox

• Ensure to configure file extensions and the default browser in Windows settings
