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 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.

Mozilla has been under control by Google; so I am unsurprised that they are acting like this.

I don't think supporting firefox of Firefox will help much though.
