"Too strict" how? I don't know what's "usable" for you.
Fingerprinting resistance is either too strict or none at all
Cookies are removed when the browser is closed, and iirc history isn’t saved by default. It just makes it a pain for regular users
It's been a while since I used it, but Librewolf had a habit of showing the bitwarden extension's window at the wrong size.
I was able to fix this by disabling a "resist fingerprinting" setting, but it's annoying to have to do stuff like this in the first place. I really wanted to have an exceptions list that included certain websites for fingerprinting resistance, but I never found a clear way to do it.
There are a few other examples of settings that I had to tweak in order to make the experience as good as Firefox.
This: fingerprinting resistance is either too strict or none at all
