Some modifications have been made through policies to ensure portability:

• Disable updater : Waterfox updates are turned off.

• Don’t check default browser : Stops Waterfox from checking if it is the default browser at startup.

• ‘Know your rights’: Don’t show on first run.

• WhatsNew: Don’t show WhatsNew on first run after every update.

• Profile: Profile path is overrided to data\profile folder (see below).

• A shortcut is created at launch to allow native notifications and removed when Waterfox is closed

Configuration

Policies

You can use custom policies by creating data/policies.json file like this one:

  }
}

DisableAppUpdate and DontCheckDefaultBrowser are forced to true.
