AFAIU, librewolf is a recommendable browser.  It's probably a good idea
to use multiple browsers for different purposes, whereby at least one of
them is completely unconfigured, to avoid fingerprinting.  At least was
this the recommendation some time ago.  Dunno if this still makes a
difference.

I hope you upgrade librewolf regularly.  If you installed it in the same
way that I did, which I think was the official way, you have a file
"/etc/apt/sources.list.d/extrepo_librewolf.sources" that defines the
"source".

I mention all of this just for completeness.  Maybe you installed it in
some different way.  Then you may need to care about updates explicitly.
Don't forget.
