If you previously installed a customized version of Firefox with Yandex or Mail.ru, offered through partner distribution channels, this release removes those customizations, including add-ons and default bookmarks. Where applicable, your browser will revert back to default settings, as offered by Mozilla. All other releases of Firefox remain unaffected by the change.

I guess it's time to ditch Firefox;

The only other browsers that I already use are lynx and eww instead.

Maybe I should make my own (LISP) browser; a browser that can easily be duplicated and used by the community.

I switched to Librewolf on the desktop and Fennec on Android. Mozilla has disappointed me recently several topics beyond this politicization. It's sad because I have been a Mozilla enthusiast for decades.
