I'm trying to figure out and document how to set up Firefox for privacy on

It's complex as can be, so to make it simpler, I ask that we each post a
SINGLE actionable suggestion in each post (not thousands of suggestions in
one post), so that anyone following this in the future can take it one post
(suggestion) at a time.

Make sense?

The advantage will be that each post is actionably simple.
The disadvantage will be that there may be a lot of posts in this thread
over time.

Each post can then spur more information in a subthread, if needed.

Make sense?

Firewall + hosts file + about:config + some extensions + good
passwords on your routers.

I use an older version of Firefox, because Mozilla comes up
with new vulnerabilities at every new version. By the time you've
fixed them, out comes a new version.

Alt.comp freeware was announcing version 51.0 today, which
comes with "new features".
Yikes.
