It seems, that I was able to solve the issues with the following .mozconfig.

Please try it in the terminal with
./arcticfox in the arcticfox directory. Maybe you need another library.

Great thanks. Tested and it works on Xenial. It has some faults as it stalled importing a config it found. While the browser was still working in other tabs. The speed seems fine. No annoying security errors when browsing forums for the first time. Unfortunately it can't be used to download your kernels since the engine is too old for GitHub as expected. But a mass improvement.
Is there an easy way to convert this into a Debian package? I'm learning how to build a package from Debian source and apt sourcing is the easiest way of downloading package sources. But I don't know how to convert a generic binary package into a Debian package.
