Show me where it's required to create an account to use Firefox and I'll share in your outrage.
I’m not saying it is -- I’m just asking why you need an “account” and whether it’s a “Mozilla account” or a “Firefox account” doesn’t make a difference - why do you need it? it’s a web browser. has no one else been on the internet before the late 90s? didn’t have an “internet explorer account” or a “Netscape account” to deal with, I fuckin double clicked and went to stileproject.com or whatever. I’m mostly just shaking my fist at the clouds and I understand that.
To sync your bookmarks and saved passwords and stuff. Back in the netscape days you had a single device that could access the internet. The way you want to use a browser is still easily available to you. Yelling about a service you don't have to use in any way existing is just childish.
