>>This is the first I have heard of Firefox changing my config settings invisibly in the background.

you must not have been paying attention the last 3 or so years

Mozilla is doing all kinds of, IMO, unethical things with FireFox that goes against the core value of the mission statement of the Mozilla Foundation.

They are too busy trying to replicate Chrome to care about privacy, security, or basic user rights

I read all about the DRM stuff but I figured that was just the awful standards boards being awful standards boards.

I didn't realize what a true mess Mozilla had become.

Not just DRM

Looking Glass, Pocket, Banning Plugins based on Political ideology, Backdoors like Normandy, and the STUDIES system, their creation of what amounts to Mozilla version of the Ministry of Truth, Their partnership with Cloudflare to send everyone's DNS to Cloudfare over HTTP, and whole host of other things
