Security Tweaks is a Firefox addon that help you improve your security while browsing by using seven different techniques.

Simply open toolbar popup UI and mark a desired tweak. Please note that, only few tweaks are selected by default. There are few settings (related to JavaScript, inline-script and cookie) available in toolbar popup to adjust.

Currently there are 8 tweaks available for this addon:

  1. Block most common ads.
  2. Block third-party JavaScript.
  3. Enable safe-browsing.
  4. Block cookies.
  5. Block inline-script.
  6. Block Flash contents.
  7. Disable window.eval().
  8. Block most common malware domains.

Important note: currently in Firefox browser, Tweaks #3 and #4 are disabled by default. This is because the underlying API is not currently available. In future, when these APIs become available, these tweaks will be enabled automatically.
