3 weeks ago example of using bash to drive setting config: https://make-firefox-private-again.com/
which just has:
echo 'user_pref("dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled", false);' | tee -a $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/$(grep "Default=.*\.default*" "$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini" | cut -d"=" -f2)/user.js
echo 'Restart Firefox for the change to have effect'

#
# How to use:
# curl https://make-firefox-private-again.com | sh
#
#
#
# Verify, or do it manually:
#
# about:config
#
# dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled
#
# set to false
#

# Report issues to @eloy@hsnl.social, but
# don't complain about curl | sh please.
# I have only tested this on Fedora, let
# me know if it worked or not on others.
#
# I am aware there are Firefox forks that
# have sane defaults with regards to this
# and other aspects. I prefer keep using
# Firefox itself, because maintaining a
# browser is an incredible difficult job
# and I don't trust small projects to be
# able to this, despite that my trust in
# Mozilla is pretty low these days.
