I’d recommend switching to something like Bitwarden for your passwords so you can take them with you and also switch your stuff around if you ever want to
You can, and they sync with your Mozilla account. I had your reasoning when using Microslop Edge and Microslop Authenticator. I set up Bitwarden now and while it’s not perfect, I do prefer to have full control of my passwords.
Whats confusing about it? People took something that was going bad and made it good again. Thats the benefit of open source. Even if Mozilla goes closed source the already existing forks can continue
I’ve been using Librewolf for some months now. You can migrate your Firefox profile into Librewolf, that’s what I did and it retained my passwords. I’m not very tech savvy but it does have some kinks, my browser clock is off I’ve tried tinkering with it but gave up. And especially with the Resist Fingerprinting enabled it seems to not retain my 2 factor id for sites when I ask it to remember me.
Your browser clock is not off. LibreWolf, Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser etc. set your browser’s reported timezone to GMT to not reveal which timezone you’re actually in.
And I don’t understand what you’re talking about in the last sentence.
I know I’ll get flak for this, but I am sticking with FireFox, because it saves my passwords.

You CAN export them. I migrated to Ff from Chrome a while back.

I’m going to start my own password software and call it PassWizard. I think that’s a good name.
EDIT: Ah, shit. It’s already taken.
YOU SHALL NOT PASSwizard!
You can switch to WaterFox and it seamlessly uses the FireFox sync to use all your passwords. Very easy drop in replacement.
So can librewolf… its got settings!
You can still use firefox sync as well
Well yeah, Librewolf is basically nothing but settings.
Firefox settings.
Confuses me no end when people rage against Mozilla and then recommend a product that cannot exist without Mozilla.
A software has roughly three parts: core functionality, UI, default settings. Zen does the UI part and default settings different.

The clock is part of their fingerprinting resistance strategy. It doesn’t provide correct timezone info to sites.

I’m going to save your comment and install it on my Linux machine when I get home.
Was about to say exactly this same thing…
LibreWolf here I come…

Waterfox are you talkin’ about? Am I right?!?!?!?! lol
Waterfox? Fennec-about-it!
