I now use Librewolf, a free to use fork of firefox and don't have these popups. It's otherwise exactly the same as the stock firefox experience (including extensions), but the Mozilla premium services are now opt in.
These comments are about as useful as the “switch to Linux” comments.
I'm sorry but that's absurd.
Switching to LibreWolf after YEAAAARS of Firefox took me less than five minutes. I've encountered exactly zero downsides and my experience of the internet immediately improved.
Nobody changes operating systems of any sort with such little friction.
Some people may be using Firefox on corporate machines where they cannot (easily) install another browser.
It’s not absurd. OP asked for help on something about Firefox, (edit: in the Firefox community), and the top response is for them to switch browsers, which is not an answer to his question.
I know if I asked a question, and the top answer to my post was “lol use the right browser” I’d be a bit annoyed.
Well I was a Firefox user since 2005 and I'm really glad people responded with top answers to my questions like the one above. We all deserve better than the status quo.
