I've been using librewolf over the last week. Honestly.... It's a drop in replacement for me

The problem with those sorts of forks is they still require moz to do most of the heavy lifting.

If Firefox stopped being developed they'd all pretty much freeze in place.

I agree to a point, I think some people would pick up the development. Idk if it'd be librewolf or if someone would fork off that, but if Firefox completely shit the bed I think someone would pick up the mantle a bit. We wouldn't have nearly the release cadence of firefox though.

Does it support containers and sync settings between installs on multiple systems? If so I’m in without hesitation.

It's basically hardened Firefox, you can do all the same things here too. Alas using it with an account kind of defeats the purpose. However you can use your account once to sync everything.
