At least its on device, but I would've preferred a "turn off" button

librewolf has bad default settings, don't login to your ff account unless you know what settings it will apply to your synced firefoxes AND you're okay with it.

I had personally no idea about that because I'm not using a mozilla login.

What does it do wrong?

The one setting I would suggest most people to change is to disable "clear history when librewolf closes" because 'history'includes all cookies and logins and clearing that is just too much.

Yep, so that setting clear history. If you use Mozilla login, it sinks to all your other Firefoxes. So if you have history stored in your Mozilla account and your sync profile, it will delete THAT too, which is horrible.
