Some settings in about:config should be altered to different values, but I can't seem to find them. I ask you to create pull requests to fix those, if possible. The settings in question are:

Disable the predictive service (Necko):
network.predictor.enabled - false

these prefs do not exist by default, so add them.

this isn't worth a bug.

Where do I add them? In modules/libpref/init/all.js or in browser/app/profile/firefox.js or somewhere else? This is why I need help.

this isn't worth a bug.

Oh, come on. Bugs have been opened for less here. I need support and want to change some about:config values, i.e. implement a change, this is definitely worth a bug. And don't tell me what to do, I have contributed stuff already, contrary to you might I add.

Thanks for the non-support @Squall-Leonhart...

Sorry @Peacock365 but I'm currently too hassled to do any pull requests in the foreseeable future ☹️

Disable Microsoft Family Safety by default

If you use Windows to build and test your pull requests, you can try see if changing this does the job? -

Does the job. Thank you for pointing me to the location of the setting, @laniakea64! Took the opportunity and got rid of some SSL telemetry, as well (new PRs created.) Thumbs up!

Any idea where the setting network.predictor.enabled can be found in WF Current?

You really shouldn't patch browser internals just to change about:config options. Use about:config context menu and choose New or try autoconfig.
