Use a Firefox fork that respects you
That'll eventually die the same way Firefox does because forks only survive by way of subsidized capabilities off of the work of the Firefox engineering team.
There is no winning here.
My personal hope is if Firefox ever dies that the LibreWolf team will just use Chromium as a base instead. I'll go wherever the LibreWolf team does.
i'm going to be one of the last holdouts; refusing to switch to a chromium based browser. lol
Can you suggest one? Obvious it's not LibreWolf due to lack of respect.
What's wrong with LW?
They broke saving passwords workflow and disabled that popup to do it.
You can turn it on in settings. I use it and it works fine.
Which version do you use?
I use the latest version. I also have resist fingerprinting disabled and sync enabled. It's been a while so I don't quite remember but I think one or both of those might be required for it to work. I know resist fingerprinting disables a lot of stuff so for convenience I disable it and instead use a JS blocker.
Unfortunately, you're statement from before is wrong. Saving passwords is still broken. I just double-checked it Librewolf on the latest 148.0.2.2 version. By saving password I mean the "Ask to save passwords" in Private & Security settings. Librewolf completely ignores it. Librewolf folks do some very stupid UI things with their fork.
That's strange. I just tested it on my machine and it is still working so there must be something weird going on that makes it only work for some people. I am using Debian and have it installed with extrepo, perhaps it is an issue with a specific release?
You're really sure that you get this popup?
If so, can you pin down the exact version you use and the source you get it from? I think the last Librewolf that had
rememberSignonsworking was 134.I am using 148.0.2-2. It appears as a little key icon in the address bar and you have to click on it to open it.
