    I’ve been using Librewolf for some months now. You can migrate your Firefox profile into Librewolf, that’s what I did and it retained my passwords. I’m not very tech savvy but it does have some kinks, my browser clock is off I’ve tried tinkering with it but gave up. And especially with the Resist Fingerprinting enabled it seems to not retain my 2 factor id for sites when I ask it to remember me.

      your clock is off because you have resistfingerprinting turned on, so it puts you into utc+0 to prevent tracking.

      and you have to explicitly allow to save cookies for specific domains to not get logged out (check out the padlock icon in the status bar, there’s an option to keep data for the domain you’re on)

      The clock is part of their fingerprinting resistance strategy. It doesn’t provide correct timezone info to sites.

      Your browser clock is not off. LibreWolf, Tor Browser, Mullvad Browser etc. set your browser’s reported timezone to GMT to not reveal which timezone you’re actually in.

      And I don’t understand what you’re talking about in the last sentence.

        Sounds like a cookie isn’t being saved, so they have to enter their 2fa every time instead of having the site trust the browser
