can’t I just have a fuckin web browser that I use to look at fuckin websites? not everything needs a god damn account.

I don’t want it there permanently, I don’t want to keep any information about the account in the browser program, it’s a web based email account why can’t I just go to the website damn
I’m not saying it is – I’m just asking why you need an “account” and whether it’s a “Mozilla account” or a “Firefox account” doesn’t make a difference - why do you need it? it’s a web browser. has no one else been on the internet before the late 90s? didn’t have an “internet explorer account” or a “Netscape account” to deal with, I fuckin double clicked and went to stileproject.com or whatever. I’m mostly just shaking my fist at the clouds and I understand that.
To sync your bookmarks and saved passwords and stuff. Back in the netscape days you had a single device that could access the internet. The way you want to use a browser is still easily available to you. Yelling about a service you don’t have to use in any way existing is just childish.
You can though…? The account gives you some useful features if you want to use them, like syncing tabs and bookmarks across devices, and if you don’t want to use it, the browser still works normally.

Show me where it’s required to create an account to use Firefox and I’ll share in your outrage.

That’s a whole lot of mad for something that won’t ever affect you unless you actively choose to engage in it.
