    I know this won’t affect LibreWolf immediately but can anyone speculate as to how or when the Firefox updates would affect LibreWolf, if at all?

    I switched from FF to LW recently so I’m just curious what the relationship(s) might be.

    ETA: Another question: How do I update LW without the LW updater? Uninstall and reinstall? Thanks!

          Isn’t it just changing some flags, toggling some options, debranding and disable basic telemetry? I honestly don’t know, last time I checked was a long time ago.

            Yes. If you take a look at their Codeberg, you’ll see it’s basically just a custom build script and a bunch of patches, so whenever a new version of Firefox rolls around, they just have to run their own build (and fix any patches in case they break) and they’re off to the races.
