Is it better to use a third party protection like Last Pass instead of letting firefox save the data?
Do you trust Firefox

Thanks mate. Though be careful if you use Google products (gmail ,YouTube etc) better don't delete your cookies and history because they use this to identify you. No cookies for Google equals a risk for phone verification

I use chrome mostly because of the good sync between pc and mobile
I want to go back to use just FF but as the title say, I have lost the trust in Mozzilla

Iin my opinion keeping passwords in the browser is a risky move, so I don't use Last Pass and add-ons like that.
Keeping your passwords list in an encrypted file on your computer is a better idea. KeepassXC is the free program I use for this.

Trust nothing unless it is open source.

Kinda funny that the co-Founder of Mozilla (and inventor of Javascript) picked to use Chromium for Brave instead of Firefox. Unless it was a deliberate F*** you statement, he probably knows the code base is better.
Lately Firefox has just been letting me down with their millennial "awesomebar" address bar. Rumor has it that it was one of their diversity hire's decision so they will not change it even though their reddit has been bombed with requests.
There was just a news story about a new telemetry that comes bundled in with the Windows installation. Sends data back to Mozilla every day. The thing about Mozilla is it's always opt-out instead of opt-in. Just install it by default and it sends tracking. Yeah, and that's supposed to be the most "private" browser give me a break. The word "privacy" is the latest marketing tripe all over the internet.

According my experience, Firefox is like the most trusted browser for my seo history. doesn't have a decade of history but other browsers like chrome as been a mess and yes they leak certain things which they are not suppose to.

Open source is one step there. But both Firefox and Chromium are open source, yet they send personal data back to their servers.

Another thing that sucks about Firefox is you are more likely to be stuck doing captchas using it.
Still wonder why I'm using it, but here I am right now lol.

Firefox password manager has a strong built-in security level, it has been proved by some solid papers you can find online. Just be sure to use a master password when using this feature.
I'll never use third party password managers, there are leaks showing up regularly, at least for the most of them maybe not all. But I don't mind since FF does the job very well.

Yes, I still do, an enhanced firefox with some tweaks and addons will do the job, concerns about online privacy and security are growing and will continue in the next years, that's why a lot of companies market their products based on privacy and security, Brave browser is an example of many
