dom.storage.enabled ?
I have been advised to change one of my about:config settings, "dom.storage.enabled" from "true" to "false" to enhance privacy/security.
Is this a good idea ? How will it affect browsing ?
Please advise me. Thanks.

No, that is not a good idea as that can potentially break websites that use DOM (local) storage to store datthat they consider of more persistent nature and less suitable for cookies.
Note that this forum uses DOM storage to store some data that isn't considered suitable for cookies.
I see these at the moment:
tags-list.folded: true question-tools.folded: true question-details.folded: true announce-102.closed: true announce-101.closed: true editing-tools-sidebar.folded: true
I would like it when old, no longer needed, announce-xxx.closed entries would be removed removed when they remove such a message.

Thanks heaps COR-EL,
Very rapid reply. The link to Developers also explained a lot.
I'll leave THAT setting alone.
All the best, steve2017.
