Just FYI, ditching Mozilla doesn’t necessarily mean ditching “Firefox”. I’ve been a user of Firefox since it came out, switched to it from Netscape Navigator. On Saturday I decided I’d had enough of Mozilla’s corporate ass-kissery and moved to Waterfox. The process was:
Install Waterfox.
In Firefox and Waterfox, go to about:support and open the profile folder.
Close Firefox and Waterfox.
Copy all contents of the Firefox profile folder to the Waterfox one, allowing overwrite.
Start up Waterfox. All my addons, history, login sessions, settings, EVERYTHING is exactly where I left it.
Yeah, I’d imagine you need to set your settings up to non-default in Librewolf or else you’ll import your browsing history and signed-in sites and then Librewolf will dutifully delete it all when you close the browser lmao
That’s not it. That’s not even the default behavior. But LibreWolf includes a lot of different default settings for fingerprinting protection, tracking, etc. that are settings, and if you drop Firefox’s settings on top of it, they get overwritten and you lose the benefit.
Ah, makes sense (though one of those Librewolf default settings is to delete your history and cookies on logout). I went with Waterfox myself because I don’t consider my privacy needs to outweigh my convenience preferences that much, but it’s really good that Librewolf exists for those that do want privacy at the cost of annoyances. Being able to have that “fully hardened” experience in one click is huge, since the Venn diagram of “people with strict privacy needs” and “people with tech skills” is not a circle.

Same for most other Firefox forks. I did something similar with LibreWolf.
