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?

These comments are about as useful as the “switch to Linux” comments.

It's not the same thing as recommending switching to Linux from windows because LibreWolf is an extension of the existing Firefox code. I think it's more akin to downloading an extension or upgrading to windows plus, you don't lose or have to adapt to anything in the changeover.

Yeah, that’s fair. I did download it, but it keeps asking me to reloggin every time I turn on the PC, so that’s annoying, but you’re right, it’s pretty much the same thing as Firefox.

It's because it defaults to clearing cookies on exit. You can turn that off, or make exceptions for sites you login to regularly and don't mind keeping cookies for.

I'm sorry but that's absurd.

Switching to LibreWolf after YEAAAARS of Firefox took me less than five minutes. I've encountered exactly zero downsides and my experience of the internet immediately improved.

Nobody changes operating systems of any sort with such little friction.

Some people may be using Firefox on corporate machines where they cannot (easily) install another browser.

It’s not absurd. OP asked for help on something about Firefox, (edit: in the Firefox community), and the top response is for them to switch browsers, which is not an answer to his question.

I know if I asked a question, and the top answer to my post was “lol use the right browser” I’d be a bit annoyed.

Well I was a Firefox user since 2005 and I'm really glad people responded with top answers to my questions like the one above. We all deserve better than the status quo.
