[AT] OT - Firefox problems

[Mogrits]

Mike you seemed to have privacy concerns earlier. I'd recommend you try to
get used to Brave. I haven't had any adjustment issues with Brave. It's a
little bit different concept but it works great. Every once in a while
you'll run into a site that won't load because of what it blocks but I
don't see that as a negative.
