Better Zen

Zen Browser (based on Firefox) config changes for better speed, privacy, and security.
Inspired from the config tweaks Betterfox for Firefox Browser.

Zen's default preferences are already based on Betterfox (as mentioned here).
But there are a few differences, which are covered by Better Zen.

Tested with Zen version 1.0.1-a.19 Based on Betterfox version 131

How to use Better Zen
