How to Switch From Firefox to Librewolf - LibreWolf

Download LibreWolf 148.0.2 from the official site, install it on your Windows or Linux machine, then import your Firefox data through the built-in migration tool on first launch.

Here's the thing — switching from Firefox to LibreWolf is painless. LibreWolf is a privacy-focused Firefox fork that strips out all the telemetry and tracking Firefox bundles in. You keep the familiar interface. You ditch the data collection.

Installation and Initial Setup

Grab LibreWolf 148.0.2 for your system (Windows or Linux). Run the installer. When you launch it for the first time, you'll see an import prompt. Click "Import from Firefox" and select your profile.

Done! Your bookmarks, passwords, history, and extensions migrate automatically. No manual copy-paste needed.

What Gets Imported

Your bookmarks folder structure stays intact. Saved passwords transfer over. Browser history comes with you. Most Firefox extensions work fine since LibreWolf runs the same engine.

Some privacy extensions might be redundant now — LibreWolf already blocks trackers by default and disables telemetry out of the box.

Why This Browser Switch Matters

Firefox is solid, but it phones home. LibreWolf doesn't. No Mozilla telemetry. No data collection.

No surprise changes to your privacy settings. If you're migrating because you want actual privacy without hunting through settings, this Firefox alternative delivers instantly.

The migration from Firefox happens in seconds. Your muscle memory stays the same. Keyboard shortcuts work identically. Tab management? Identical.

Menu layout? Nearly the same. You're not relearning a browser — you're just using a cleaner version of what you already know.

Bottom line: Export your Firefox profile once, import it into LibreWolf 148.0.2, and you're browsing privately without losing anything. Perfect for anyone tired of browser telemetry.
