I don't think it was there until I enabled firefox sync. I'd like to remove what is inside the red box. Does anyone know how to do that?
Try Toe Browser. It based on Firefox but they strip out all this crap

Worked perfectly. Thanks FuckyWucky.
I now use Librewolf, a free to use fork of firefox and don't have these popups. It's otherwise exactly the same as the stock firefox experience (including extensions), but the Mozilla premium services are now opt in.
Doesn't it also turn on stuff like aggressive fingerprint protection (which provides more protection against fingerprinting, but also breaks more and more important stuff).
Yes, these additional settings are turned on by default. If you find they interfere with your browser experience you can turn them off to bring things back to near-stock firefox.
These comments are about as useful as the “switch to Linux” comments.
It's not the same thing as recommending switching to Linux from windows because LibreWolf is an extension of the existing Firefox code. I think it's more akin to downloading an extension or upgrading to windows plus, you don't lose or have to adapt to anything in the changeover.
Yeah, that’s fair. I did download it, but it keeps asking me to reloggin every time I turn on the PC, so that’s annoying, but you’re right, it’s pretty much the same thing as Firefox.
It's because it defaults to clearing cookies on exit. You can turn that off, or make exceptions for sites you login to regularly and don't mind keeping cookies for.
Same here. I was so tired of having to turn off so much junk every time I installed Firefox.
Unless something changed you cannot use Firefox sync on librewolf though? At least last time I checked it wasn't there as it would defeat the purpose. Just saying because OP specifically sees this after switching sync on.
They have it available in the settings now, opt-in.
Oh, nice, thanks for pointing that out.
You can do it using css in your userchrome.css.
Do any of these turn it off? It doesn’t say it is for that part, but maybe it would work anyway.
