To improve the privacy some more third-party APIs should be disabled:

  • Set browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl to "" - Disables third-party API requests on new tab page for snippets widget.
  • Set browser.newtabpage.directory.source to "" - Also improves the privacy by removing requests against third-party APIs.
