I am posting this with PaleMoon. Yes, it is based on FF, but:

- The code base had been forked long time ago, and now it has no relation to what's happening at Mozilla Foundation.

- Firefox's code is not entirely written by the gays at Mozilla Foundation. It was written primarily by hundreds of volunteers all over the planet. It would be unfair to ignore their contribution that was made years ago just because a few idiots misused it a week ago, without having any right to do so.

The militant gays at Mozilla Foundation must be boycotted. I will not be using FF anymore. PaleMoon comes with a great tool to migrate the profile - and once you run it all your settings are transferred into PM.

PM also comes with several advantages. It is built for amd64 (at least that's what I downloaded) whereas FF only comes compiled for 32-bit CPUs. It has a bunch of junk removed to make it faster and leaner. It will not be updating itself in background, introducing unexpected changes. It does not need to be installed - there is a ZIP archive, you dump it anywhere onto your C: drive and run it from there.

Here is an important note about PM, found on the Web:

To all Pale Moon users, go to about:config and change general.useragent.compatMode.firefox to False. This way, you won't be falsely identified as using the anti-free-speech Firefox.

I also have and use Chrome and IE, for different purposes. Generally FF/PM is configured as the strictest browsing tool - it runs no scripts, rejects Flash, and all that. (This can be enabled on per-site basis.) Chrome is less strict, but it also has Adblock Plus and a NoScript-like extension. IE has no blocks, and I use it to access hardware on my own LAN. Theoretically I can also use it for some Web sites that require full access to everything, but in practice Chrome does the job.

I'm not an IT person, generally, but my input is often influential. FF will be removed from all devices that I control. They shall not pass.
