    Why is everyone blowing this out of proportion ? The wording in the new terms of service was to define “sell” under california law which means to use your data within the browser, not to actually sell it.

      Just FYI, ditching Mozilla doesn’t necessarily mean ditching “Firefox”. I’ve been a user of Firefox since it came out, switched to it from Netscape Navigator. On Saturday I decided I’d had enough of Mozilla’s corporate ass-kissery and moved to Waterfox. The process was:

      Install Waterfox.

      In Firefox and Waterfox, go to about:support and open the profile folder.

      Close Firefox and Waterfox.

      Copy all contents of the Firefox profile folder to the Waterfox one, allowing overwrite.

      Start up Waterfox. All my addons, history, login sessions, settings, EVERYTHING is exactly where I left it.

        Same for most other Firefox forks. I did something similar with LibreWolf.

        • note that if you do exactly that, you’ll miss out on the enhanced privacy of LibreWolf. Better to just import bookmarks and stuff like that.

          Yeah, I’d imagine you need to set your settings up to non-default in Librewolf or else you’ll import your browsing history and signed-in sites and then Librewolf will dutifully delete it all when you close the browser lmao

            That’s not it. That’s not even the default behavior. But LibreWolf includes a lot of different default settings for fingerprinting protection, tracking, etc. that are settings, and if you drop Firefox’s settings on top of it, they get overwritten and you lose the benefit.
