    Most of them.

    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)

        Perhaps, one day, someone will talk about “the people that downvoted me” without sounding like a total goober. But that day is not today.
