I think firefox may be dead. I'm starting to see all the videos in my recommendations from everyone tech adjacent, and it's only day 1. Not sure who actually used FF still besides people that cared about that promise of privacy, so this may kill off that remaining % of marketshare.

For anyone already on Firefox, if you want to transfer all of your existing settings to LibreWolf, the process is fairly easy:
0. (Optional) Install
Tab Session Manager on FireFox and save all open windows (Otherwise, none of your open windows or tabs will be in LibreWolf)
1. Install LibreWolf and open it once
2. Go to:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[randomstringofcharacters].default-release\3. Copy all of the files
4. Go to:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\librewolf\Profiles\[randomstringofcharacters].default-default\5. Paste and replace all
6. Go to:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[randomstringofcharacters].default-release7. Copy all of the files
8. Go to:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\librewolf\Profiles\[randomstringofcharacters].default-default9. Paste and replace all
10. Congratulations! You can now open LibreWolf! All of your settings, browser history, and extensions should have been copied over!
11. If you installed Tab Session Manager, you can go to the extension and open all of your previously open windows.
No.2633
>>2631Additionally, my personal recommendations once you have LibreWolf installed would be to:
1. Go into Settings > Privacy & Security
2. Disable "Clear history when LibreWolf closes" (Otherwise, your cookies will be nuked every time you close the browser, logging you out of every website)
And, if you're annoyed by every website now defaulting to the light theme:
1. Go into Settings > LibreWolf
2. Disable "Enable ResistFingerprinting" (Note: This is a privacy setting meant to prevent websites from fingerprinting your browser and putting together browsing activity. Disable at your own discretion.)
No.2635
>>2633Respectfully, if I wanted the convenience of cookies and staying logged in between browser sessions, I'd just stay on Firefox or even Chrome. For those of us that care enough to delve into alternative browsers like these, logging back in to websites is a minor inconvenience that's worth the tradeoff.
Disabling Fingerprinting resistance seems to defeat the purpose of moving to such privacy-centric browsers, in my opinion.
No.2639
>>2637Of course, they're related since it's a fork. However when the recommendation was to disable the clearing of cookies, then I wanted to offer a counterpoint.
The tool can be improved and be spectacular (and the user is free to do whatever), but when it's used in such a way that is no different than the tool from which the user migrated, it's really the behavior that needs to be addressed.
Since people are making the effort to migrate, it's simultaneously a chance to clean up their OPSEC. I won't harp on the point, though, since each user has their risk tolerance and patience for inconvenience.
No.2643
>>2634Floorp is nice, but see image.
>>2631Librewolf has different settings to firefox, they're supposed to be more "hardened". This might replace the settings with what you had for firefox, assuming they are not hardened. Also, not a good idea to copy the extensions, some are not supported on libre.
Follow this:
To migrate your Firefox data to LibreWolf without overwriting its hardened preferences, follow these steps:
1. Locate Profile Directories
Firefox Profile:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>.default-release\
Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>.default-release/
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<profile>.default-release/
LibreWolf Profile:
Windows: %APPDATA%\LibreWolf\Profiles\<profile>.default\
Linux: ~/.librewolf/<profile>.default/
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/LibreWolf/Profiles/<profile>.default/
2. Close Both Browsers
Ensure neither Firefox nor LibreWolf is running to prevent data corruption.
3. Copy Specific Files
From your Firefox profile, copy the following files to the LibreWolf profile:
Bookmarks & History: places.sqlite
Cookies: cookies.sqlite
Passwords: logins.json + key4.db (and key3.db if present)
Open Tabs: sessionstore.jsonlz4
Form Autofill: formhistory.sqlite
Avoid copying:
prefs.js (contains settings)
permissions.sqlite (site permissions)
extensions/ (reinstall manually in LibreWolf)
storage/ (may conflict with privacy settings)
4. Handle Extensions Manually
Reinstall extensions in LibreWolf via its add-ons manager to ensure compatibility with its privacy settings.
Notes:
Session Compatibility: If Firefox and LibreWolf versions differ significantly, sessionstore.jsonlz4 might not work. Use an extension like Session Manager to export/import tabs if issues arise.
Passwords with Master Password: If Firefox uses a master password, decrypt it first or manually export passwords via Firefox’s about:logins (enable security.allow_edit_encrypted_passwords in about:config to export).
Bookmarks Backup: As a precaution, export Firefox bookmarks to HTML (Library → Bookmarks → Import/Backup → Export) before copying files.

Firefox is like one of those fat Yosemite bears that's been fed by humans for 15 years. Their instincts are shot.

In my experience, it's generally the opposite problem: corporations, by their very nature, are a) incentivized to extract every last drop of profit they can out of their customers, leading to scummy, anti-consumer practices like this, and b) are bloated and inefficient, leading to
retarded anti-consumer practices.

>>2625I wanted to swap to mullvad but it was a bit uncomfortable for me with its default settings... I might try it again though as it's been about a year since I tried it. Brave is what I'm currently using but they keep pushing worse and worse updates to both the browser and the search engine, especially with them shilling ai. If they just promoted it would be one thing, but actively removing your ability to hide it using their built-in content blocking feature? Just despicable.

You think that's insane, Nintendo pushed a TOS-chan today saying you give them the right to record you so they can store and use the videos to keep you safe, confirming that you own nothing, and agreeing not to sue them for anything. If you don't agree, you're supposed to delete your account immediately (which will make all of the things you bought disappear), but it's fine because you can't actually access the account deletion function until you agree to the new terms.

>>3785I would be ok with this if they expand the Switch 2's camera feature to work on random online lobbies and not just when playing with your friends. Ever since the trailer released, I have this really funny idea of playing on all fours, pointing the camera at my asshole and then joining random Mario Kart lobbies so that the other people have to watch my asshole clench and spin out in the game whenever I get hit with a shell. It would be the modern equivalent to those old public webcam conference streams that you could very easily raid.
No.3788
>>3787You would by fine handing your rights and privacy away if they let you pay for a hardware subscription that allowed you to show your asshole to some random 10 year olds for five seconds before they permanently banned you and prevented you from using any of the things you paid for?
