Came here to state the same, for a few years my firefox fix was to use waterfox[1] instead of firefox.

And now my best firefox fix is to use librewolf[2] instead of waterfox instead of firefox.

I had enough of mozilla treating me and my business like sh*t when the silently dropped alsa support on a ESR release and justifying by saying linux distro package maintainer should have not disabled our surveillance and tracking and no one wants to work on ALSA as it is a mess, turns mozilla code was a mess and in a matter of days someone came up volunteering to do the works they refused to, but then they switched their stance to say it's too late they're not going back to alsa just deal with it.

So I dealt with it by switching to waterfox which supported alsa with no plan of stopping and allowed firefox extensions to keep working.

When will mozilla stop hurting its own product by trying to make it the same as google's browser and mistreating their user base and supporters ?

Librewolf applies a few very small patches to the Firefox codebase (to remove Mozilla's VPN promotion, etc), but I don't think they have the resources to maintain dropped features, or any other significant deviations from the official codebase. I view it as a custom Firefox build rather than a fork.
