    From Sean Dennis@86:100/1 to All on Wed Jan 7 17:04:56 2026
    Hi everyone,

    I grabbed LibreWolf in its AppImage form. Looks like it was last updated on August 27, 2025 (my 53rd birthday!).

    It imported all of my personal info from Chrome easily and without issue. I was able to log into and use Twitch.tv without issue. Set up all but one of
    my plugins from Chrome easily. It also works well (and quickly) as a HTML email viewer for mutt.

    So far, so good without any issues.

    I made the switch to Librewolf from Firefox on my Linux desktops - I was using Firefox as primary on all for some time.

    Copying the Firefox profile over to Librewolf was easy (though certainly not obvious when there's no Firefox -> Librewolf import wizard), and everything has been pretty smooth, aside from getting caught up in a couple of the privacy/security tightenings, which have been resolvable.

    Unfortunately, I was having issues with some websites where Librewolf
    was preventing access so I am on Firefox for now.

    I'd be curious to know what was meant by that - I haven't yet seen Librewolf preventing access, but it's possible I've made some adjustments that are allowing certain things through. Did you happen to catch what the block was?
