I switched to Libre as well a month or so ago. The only thing I miss from Firefox is eing able share passwords/tabs/etc between mobile and desktop, but it's not enough to make me switch back.

You can use Firefox Sync in Librewolf too, it's just a bit buried in the settings.

afaik, you can enable firefox sync in librewolf so you can share all those to firefox on mobile
