Mercury has had a open high criticality cve for almost a year and a half now, that is being actively exploited.
Either switch to Firefox or a fork that is actually being maintained, or just block your machine from the Internet.
I agree with all you said, but suggesting to use a specific browser only when not connected to the web is kinda funny.
If you get this level of paranoia, better not to use any FF related browser: https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing
What is paranoia about it?
They are using a browser fork that isn't being maintained, so any current vulnerabilities it has will likely not be solved, including the one i know of that is currently being exploited and was fixed in firefox over a year ago.
I'm not saying that Firefox and other forks of it won't get vulnerabilities, but as they are maintained, and this goes especially for Firefox which they are forks of, the vulnerabilities will likely be fixed in a timely manner.
