LibreWolf is literally just the FireFox build, with the telemetry & adware ripped out, and ublock origin and similar preinstalled. (I suspect people that downvoted me above assume I am shilling some commercial browser and just don’t know what LW is)
I ran into a problem with Video Download Helper, it installs a co-app that had “~/.firefox” hardcoded in a script. I changed that to point to LibreWolf and it worked.
aah, a good old load-bearing “just” with all the trimmings
love it when a post tells you how much experience someone has in large-scale software and systems management (and thus also how seriously to take their advice)
firefox extensions still work fine?
Most of them.

lol no
Perhaps, one day, someone will talk about “the people that downvoted me” without sounding like a total goober. But that day is not today.
