Ditching it for what?
Florp
I finally got moved over to Mozilla I am not moving to anything else for the next 10 years.
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
