I personally always appreciate update explanatory articles. Lets see what this “Yuliya” said months ago: Look, I’m not gonna be so polite and patient as Pants would. It is definitely a project to keep an eye on, especially if the developers keep up to their promises and release updated versions of Librefox whenever Mozilla pushes out updates to Firefox. Librefox may be worth a try for Firefox users who don't want to go through user.js configuration files manually to find the right preferences and apply them to Firefox. The developers remove built-in extensions and some components, block connection attempts, and modify Firefox in several core ways to reduce outbound connections. It would be a disservice to the project to reduce it to being Firefox with a user.js file added to it as it offers more than that. Librefox is a start and run copy of Firefox with privacy improvements added to it. With Librefox, you'd have to go through the changes manually to adjust them, or go through them when you run into issues with sites. That's comfortable but it takes away some control from users if you apply preference changes manually, you know exactly what you are getting into. While privacy configuration files like the Ghacks user.js file can be applied to the browser to achieve the same, the main benefit of running Librefox is that it offers most of that right away. Librefox is a privacy enhanced version of Firefox that is ready for use out of the box. Note that you need to edit these files directly as some settings are locked and cannot be changed from within Librefox editing may be necessary if you run into compatibility issues on select websites. The list is well documented but it may take a while to go through it manually. Firefox users who want to know about the differences between Firefox and Librefox may want to check the files mozilla.cfg and policies.json as a start.
