    I could not make the switch, libre wolfs defaults make me log into everything again, constantly, multiple times a day. On top of that, half of the websites I need and use almost every day behave completely erroneously or have render issues.

    I could not be bothered to find out which settings I needed to tweak, and just use FF again for the moment.

      For the login issue it is easy to fix, you make an exception in the privacy settings for whatever website you visit.
      It’s on Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Manage Exceptions (And make sure you add and Save the Changes).

      It’s a bit of nuisance at first to do but you only have to do it once, and this way you also have control which websites install their crap on your browser. For the render issues I don’t know, it is not my experience but maybe it is related too to make an exception for these websites.

        There’s a lock icon at the address bar where you have the option to make the exception instead of entering the whole menu like you said.

        Although sometimes that exception option doesnt appear don’t know why, but usually it’s there in that little lock icon.

    Yep the Mozilla FireFox is going in all the wrong directions thanks to poor management. Switching to a better fork is the right move.

    Librewolf is pretty good. I also like Floorp because you can put the tab bar wherever you want!

      I tried Floorp once, but it had a bug that lost all the changes I made to the containers and the sidebar. After the second time, I “rage quit” and started considering LibreWolf.

    I already switched to Ironfox on mobile, and it was a seamless transition. I’ve loaded Librewolf, and it installed and works fine, but haven’t transitioned over to it yet.

      That’s my case as well. I’m a 100% Ironfox user now. And I have LibreWolf open alongside Firefox on desktop for now, and I will eventually make the full jump.

    I switched from Librewolf to Waterfox. The lack of automatic updates was annoying.
