You know you fucked up when even a traditionally hardcore Mozilla fan since the early 2000s like myself has had enuff and recently switched to Librewolf.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm with you. I was using Netscape way back and loved Firefox from its inception, and tried to convince everyone I knew to use it. Earlier this year I finally switched to Waterfox, and I haven't looked back. I tried Librewolf first, and it was great, but they don't have an app and that was a dealbreaker for me. Waterfox feels a lot like older Firefox UI-wise, and I love the tab containers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Librewolf has tab containers as well. So does Firefox. Unless Waterfox works differently somehow?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh... so they do. I guess Waterfox just enabled it by default and I never noticed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Haha, that's ok. I had the same thing with my claim about pw manager in Librewolf.

Is it good so far?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Yes! A bit annoying with no built in pw manager but I manage. It did show me how much of the problems which I thought were Gecko related were actually Firefox related, tho.

Basically it's a faster, bluer, and less buggy Firefox. 🐺>🦊

You should use a third party password manager. You can still add extensions to librewolf.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I know. Been a bit paralysed by the amount to choose from, tho.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I chose Bitwarden, no regrets so far.

Wdym Librewolf has no built in password manager? It has about:logins just like Firefox

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I guess it does. I heard it didn't before switching, and it isn't enabled by the default so I just assumed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

it's enabled, what isn't is offering to save your passwords
