I now use Librewolf, a free to use fork of firefox and doesn't have these popups. It's otherwise exactly the same as the stock firefox experience (including extensions), but the Mozilla premium services are now opt in.
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.
