Edit: They claim they will make that part open source too, eventually, and it is due to behavior of another browser: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp-core/issues/62

Besides Tor, I'm yet to see a Firefox fork that makes sense

Even LibreWolf, which is just a Firefox with different configuration by default, I think should be just config files.

I really want to see browsers saving configurations and data in a simple file formats, like QuteBrowser do.

Damn, guess I go back to regular Firefox

Try Mercery for a boost in performance of about 8-20% dependent on machine: https://thorium.rocks/mercury

Or for better security/privacy try LibreWolf: https://librewolf.net

Normal Firefox has telemetry and poor default settings but is still feature rich if you take the time to config.
