Cómo eliminar la molesta telemetría de Firefox para trabajar (a gusto) con Burp

Ya sabéis que Firefox, incluso sin extensiones, genera un montón de ruido cuando trabajamos con Burp a modo de conexiones a DetectPortal, SafeBrowsing, reportMalware, version-checks, ping-telemetry, etc.

Para evitarlo podemos cambiar una serie de settings en el UI (por ejemplo, a través de about:config en el navegador) o, más sencillo, configurarlo dentro de un archivo user.js en tu perfil. Las rutas donde se deben guardar dicho archivo según sistema operativo (hay que crearlo si no existe) son las siguientes:

• Windows: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default
• Mac OS X: Users//Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default
• Linux: /home//.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default
  

Y gracias a Mikhail Driagunov aka AetherEternity he querido recopilar este user.js para tener siempre a mano:
