note that each of these has their own issues. From a security/privacy pov, Mull, Mullvad Browser, and Tor Browser are generally most respected. I'm not familiar with floorp or pulse.

What are the issues for Librewolf?

[contact9879]

LibreWolf is one of the better Firefox forks but it doesn't have automatic updates and you're relying on a relatively small team to keep it up-to-date.

At that point, Mullvad Browser would be a better choice.

> it doesn't have automatic updates

That's not accurate. LibreWolf has an automatic updater for Windows.[1] On Linux, updates for most applications are handled by the operating system's package manager, and LibreWolf also maintains a Flatpak.[2] On macOS, LibreWolf has a Homebrew cask.[3] Flatpak and Homebrew can be configured for automatic updates.

I've been very satisifed with LibreWolf and haven't experienced any significant issues.

> Mullvad Browser would be a better choice

Mullvad Browser is a nice fork, but it doesn't include any syncing (like Firefox Sync), which makes it a non-starter as a primary browser for anyone who uses that feature.

It's worth noting that the Librewolf Windows updater isn't official, though it is packaged in the installer.

I wish there were more forks that did not come with privacy features baked in and turned on by default.
