It's been that way for years, just disable it

Like I do on Edge and Chrome. That’s kinda my point.
I don’t use Firefox because it consistently doesn’t work. That’s the only thing it seems consistent in.
I constantly hear people talking about privacy, but you’ve got to do the same stuff to be private on this I do on browsers that work.
I feel ya though, and I don’t care what people enjoy running, but this struck me as ridiculous if you can feel where I’m coming from.
I wouldn't say Firefox is a private browser default, there are Firefox forks that have much better default privacy: TOR Browser, Libre Wolf, Mullvad Browser.
And if you don't want Google & Apple to fully control web standards, Firefox & it's derivatives are the only real alternatives.
