I prefer Librewolf as it is easier and simpler to use

Can't recommend this. It broke couple sites that I frequently use when I tried it some time ago

Broken sites are a small price to pay for privacy

Contact the site owner and let them know. Tell them to test in Tor Browser too

I really doubt they would care about something like this. Even getting them to support firefox was an annoying process. I emailed them every month for six months until they added firefox support

That's some mad dedication

This is expected if you keep the default settings. You shouldn't use it as it is but read the wiki and configure it to find the balance you want between privacy and usablity.
