the version you get from mozilla.org has proprietary software contained within, similar to how linux usually ships with proprietary drivers, you can get librewolf for a fully free/libre and open source version of firefox
librewolfdon't remove any "proprietary software contained within" it's justfirefoxwith changed default settings and iconshere is sources and you can see it yourself, and not just misinformed people

you are straight up wrong
even if
firefoxwas the same asmozilla firefox, librewolf would still be firefox without proprietary software, just actually look into the repo you linkedthen you can show me exact line of code in patches where
librewolfremoves "proprietary software"?but you truly have no idea what you are talking about, librewolf uses "raw firefox", not the proprietary filled mozilla version of firefox.
