Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Arkenfox is for a much more hardened and private Firefox. It will enable many options that can cause site breakage. Use this if you want max privacy or security and dont care too much about some sites not working.
I hadn't heard of betterfox until now but it seems to be a more balanced option. They offer multiple options for speed, distraction free, etc. I looked at a few of them and they enable many of the sane options and also disable all tracking/data collection. I would say go with user.js which seems to be a sum of all the other profiles without any problematic options.
I don't think there is an easy way to keep betterfox update. Unlike Arkenfox which has a simple script for updating and applying my modifications
The options are generic enough that I imagine they wont cause issues with updates. Or you could use a simple bash script to automate the update process, like the ones suggested here: https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/issues/167.
Thanks I'll give it a try always wanted to have a less restrictive profile beside Arkenfox
