- Description:
- The Waterfox source code is a specialised modification of the Mozilla
platform, designed for privacy and user choice in mind. You should be
able to install it and compile Waterfox without any issues. Other
modifications and patches that are more upstream have been implemented
as well to fix any compatibility/security issues that Mozilla may lag
behind in implementing (usually due to not being high priority). High
request features removed by Mozilla but wanted by users are retained
(if they aren't removed due to security).
Features:
o Disabled Encrypted Media Extensions (EME)
o Disabled Web Runtime (deprecated as of 2015)
o Removed Pocket
o Removed Telemetry
o Removed data collection
o Removed startup profiling
o Allow running of all 64-Bit NPAPI plugins
o Allow running of unsigned extensions
o Removal of Sponsored Tiles on New Tab Page
o Addition of Duplicate Tab option (toggle with browser.tabs.duplicateTab)
o Locale selector in about:preferences > General

- ======================================================================
Some features available on other platforms are not implemented:
- Native audio (OSS backend is incomplete, doesn't support WebRTC)
- Encrypted Media Extensions (requires Widevine CDM binary)
- Process sandboxing (requires Capsicum backend)
- Reduced memory usage (requires mozjemalloc)
- Performance profiling (requires GeckoProfiler)
- Gamepad API (requires libusbhid backend)
- WebVR (requires open source runtime)
- TCP fast open
======================================================================
On FreeBSD < 11.3 Web Content process may frequently crash due to bug 181741.
If you cannot upgrade try applying the following workaround:
$ sysctl net.local.stream.recvspace=16384
======================================================================
To select non-default audio backend open about:config page and create
media.cubeb.backend preference. Supported values are: alsa, jack,
pulse, pulse-rust, oss, sndio. Currently used backend can be inspected
on about:support page.
======================================================================
smb:// issues (Gvfs/GIO option):
Network group, machine, and share browsing does not work correctly.
sftp:// (Gvfs/GIO option):
Only sftp access using public key authentication works. To easily
setup public key authentication to "remote_host":
ssh-keygen
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh remote_host "cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys"
The SSH server on remote_host must allow pub key authentication.
