I don't think it was there until I enabled firefox sync. I'd like to remove what is inside the red box. Does anyone know how to do that?

I've yet to find anything that it broke after weeks of use... and anyway it takes two seconds to disable that for a few mins in the rare event it's necessary.

Overall an unambiguously better internet experience on LibreWolf coming from years of FireFox for me.

I mean, that's the thing, isn't it? It's easy to turn off if you know that and what you need to turn off. Literally on this same page there's someone mentioning they keep getting logged out, which is because Librewolf clears cookies on exit - which of course was completely reasonable for them not to know. So it feels like "it's exactly the same as Firefox" is setting the wrong expectations.

I didn't say it was exactly the same as FF, I said it immediately improved my experience of the Internet

Auto logouts are IMHO better for society. Putting friction between users and addictive algorithms is a simple way to encourage healthier and more mindful habits. It also encourages better security education

If people have questions like this it's a good thing. It will make them aware of how much privacy they are giving up so they have to make intentional choices about how they design their digital life

Capitalists have really ruined the culture of UX by making it all about what's good for keeping people hooked & helpless rather than what's in our collective best interests

Yeah I know you didn't, but we're in a comment thread that started with

It's otherwise exactly the same as the stock firefox experience

That's why I responded to check whether it doesn't change a bunch of stuff as well that might catch people off-guard if they expected the same experience.
