Firefox about:config privacy settings

ABOUT

about:config settings to harden the Firefox browser. Privacy and performance enhancements.
To change these settings type 'about:config' in the url bar. Then search the setting you would like to change and modify the value. Some settings may break certain websites from functioning and rendering normally. Some settings may also make firefox unstable. I am not liable for any damages/loss of data.

Not all these changes are necessary and will be dependent upon your usage and hardware. Do some research on settings if you don't understand what they do. These settings are best combined with your standard privacy extensions (HTTPS Everywhere No longer required: Enable HTTPS-Only Mode, NoScript/Request Policy, uBlock origin, agent spoofing, Privacy Badger etc), and all plugins set to "Ask To Activate".

Quick virtualenv fix on Mountain Lion

Quick virtualenv fix on Mountain Lion

Overview

It appears that Apple somehow broke Python in Mountain Lion, so even with the latest Command Line Tools and Xcode 4.4 virtualenv won't properly work. During virtual environment creation it will try to install easy_install inside /Library hierarchy. So let's give it a quick workaround. Let's install custom python into your $HOME-directory using pythonbrew!

Installing proper Command Line Tools

Without the Apple Mac Developer account you won't even see the proper download link for the latest CL Tools and the old one won't work on ML. So here's the link: http://goo.gl/iBTXh. It points towards the Apple website so don't worry.
