Mozilla was the company that in effect, forced their CEO Brenda Eich ( the inventor of JavaScript and founder of the Mozilla Project) to resign in 2014 after someone discovered that he privately, without fuss, contributed a few thousand dollars to California’s Proposition 8 which called for the affirmation of traditional marriage in California.
As far back as 2014 I already knew that the employees and higher ups of this company were INTOLERANT of any dissenting beliefs.
Eich went on to found BRAVE Software, an Internet browser platform company. I have been using this browser as well as the Epic Privacy browser since.
Brave is a free and open-source web browser developed by Brave Software, Inc. based on the Chromium web browser. It blocks ads and website trackers, and provides a way for users to send cryptocurrency contributions in the form of Basic Attention Tokens to websites and content creators.
As of 2020, Brave has been released for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. As of 2017 Brave supported five search engines by default, including their partner, DuckDuckGo.
I heartily recommend it. It is robust and well designed. Screw Mozilla and Firefox. May it die the death of abandonment.

Sigh. I use FF at work and have used it at home for years since the beginning and now will say goodbye when I have the time.
