I completely agree Firefox lost the plot ages ago. They are very selective about support for security and privacy. Look at all the uninstallable junk protocols, advertising and monitoring that are impossible or very difficult to remove. They even force the use of DRM unless you went for the DRM free EME-Free fork.

I found I had to keep using addons to fight against the privacy and security issues they keep creating.

Like most "free" software they have infinite development time for tweaking the appearance and making meaningless changes to the UI, but deliberately make it difficult to customise the simplest options by removing the capability to configure from the menus.

Don't even mention the Android version, which is completely out of control.

I gave up with Firefox and went for the Palemoon derivative which is simpler, more privacy oriented, mostly Google-free (unlike Firefox), but can be more flakey as they don't have many developers.
