Yes. ~/.mozilla. Its annoying.

You can fix it with a hack by putting a shell script in your path (before the original firefox) that consist of:

#!/bin/sh

HOME='/home/engywuck/.local/share/firefox' /usr/bin/firefox

Call that instead of the original firefox from now on. it will create the “librewolf” folder in ~/.local/share and chuck its junk in there.

Edit: This bug has been open for TWENTY YEARS.

Honestly ridiculous.

Blanket statements of a group are harmful.

Blanket, emotional statements are harmful.

this article does not attempt to compare the privacy practices of each browser but rather their resistance to exploitation.

The Madaidans article lacks relevance, we are talking about fingerprinting.

Last I recall, Vanadium lags behind customized-Firefox in privacy features, and even more behind the Tor Browser.

Having a tool like Noscript is absolutely necessary, with today’s browsers, if you want to fight fingerprinting.
