      hey, there’s a setting in librewolf where you can enable/disable webgl! you don’t even have to do it via about:config

      Yeah, that’s a no-go for me since the app I work on uses WebGL.

        FYI it’s a toggle in about:preferences (a.k.a. Settings).

    I switched to Libre as well a month or so ago. The only thing I miss from Firefox is eing able share passwords/tabs/etc between mobile and desktop, but it’s not enough to make me switch back.

      You can use Firefox Sync in Librewolf too, it’s just a bit buried in the settings.

        Just to add for information’s sake, it works the other way around too. As in, you can use Fennec instead of Firefox Android and still sync with standard Firefox on desktop. Or Librewolf or whatever. I think most forks probably use the same sync functionality and servers as vanilla Firefox.

        That looks like a great tool, but only seems to support bookmark sync currently? Not quite a drop in replacement for Firefox sync yet.

          No, you’re right. It only does bookmarks.

      It does! It’s disabled by default though, but it can be toggled in the settings

    TBH this finally pushed me over the edge. It was surprisingly easy - just s/firefox/librewolf/ in my browser config file, and then privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage = false (I don’t want to log in to all my work accounts every time I restart the browser). I didn’t even notice the switch TBH.

    Using it for years. It is amazing. I do have a tech background so I know what I need to change for my needs but I wished more people use it. I mean it is also not that hard, either.
