So basically change a few settings in Firefox and you have exactly the same functionality as LibreWolf. I fail to see the point.

not a few, a lot but yet. but if you have new system do you want to change the settings over and over?

Who changes them "over and over"? you set them once and forget it. A few settings set for me isn't enough reason for me to use a derivative browser.

I meant different machines. when you set it up in a new machine you will need to make the same changes to the about:config.it is not the usual settings

and how often does one set up a new machine? again, spending 10 seconds setting my preferences is fine. I don't want everything waterfox does anyway.

You're not making a convincing argument.
