Well, I have noticed that I can't store or update password. If type in a password on some site, Firefox showed a popup asking if I would save it or not. Why Librewolf don't suggest me that action? I definitely enabled that function in the settings.
Librewolf versions: 137.0.2-1, 138.0.3-1 Ubuntu 24.10

in ~/librewolf/native-messaging-hosts/ is the same json connector as in ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/. I can install gnome extensions from Firefox without any problems, but not from LibreWolf.
No, I went old school deb package way.
Their FAQ brushes it off with a single condescending line: "Use third-party tools, we know what’s best for you."
Here’s the joke: Librewolf ships with a password manager, lets you enable it, and even allows autofill but intentionally breaks the "Save Password?" prompt. No amount of tweaking (
about:config,user.js, orlibrewolf.overrides.cfg) fixes this. The only way to store logins? Manually typing every credential into about:logins like it’s 1995.It’s ironic that a browser marketed as "freedom-focused" would sabotage basic UX, forcing users into their preferred workflow. It’s the same kind of disrespect for user autonomy that drove people away from Firefox. Firefox at least lets you somehow re-enable/disable features.
My experience with Librewolf is quite sad.
