Looks like you can disable it in options, but active by default. I suggest brave or dissenter browsers

Mozilla’s trusted parts may not be on my list.

Dumped ‘ff’ months ago for Brave and startpage for search engine. Daily disk clean and malware clean is way faster with a LOT less garbage. Plus I’m earning bitcoins or something. 😂🙌

They have had this for awhile now, you can just turn it off. Mine has it and it is version 86.0.

I cannot even fathom why anyone would install ANY browser and use it default without going through the settings first.

The very good advantage with Firefox is being able to addon “NoScript” and Ghostery”. Even Brave or Dissenter can’t match the security, privacy, and add blocking of NoScript along with Ghostery.

NoScript is THE ultimate blocking tool available.

I dropped Firefox last year.

Replaced it with BRAVE and really like it.

Never seen a hint of that crap, on 93.0 at the moment.

My ATT.Yahooo email is locked out, but that must be another issue.

Dumped Firefox a couple years ago...
Also dumped Thunderbird...
Both started out as a good idea, but after several years they each became a cumbersome & interfering POS...

Now prefer a barebones browser like Dissenter...
As for mail, I’m still experimenting... Have not found a keeper yet...

Agreed. Been using Brave for a while now, and really like it. Kinda wish FR could get donations for Brave Ads.

I like Brave, but it is buggy on some sites, so I have to keep other browsers as a backup.

Sometimes I can just turn off the Brave ad blocker to fix a broken page.
