If you'd like to use Firefox without contributing to mozilla's social justice platform I suggest WaterFox or Pale Moon.

They forced out an old CEO shortly after he was hired because he supported Prop 8 in Cali. They knew it when he was hired, but then it was made public.
They cave to frivolous demands. Like changing an encoding name from 'bro' to 'br' because bro is gendered and misogynistic.
The new CEO conducts witch hunts in the name of diversity.
They remove addons that offend hardcore feminists.

Yes. It should also load your Firefox profile.

Waterfox is no alternative. It is the EXACT same thing as firefox. Firefox, being open source, can have it's sourcecode downloaded by anyone. Waterfox is some 14 year old who compiled it for 64x architecture instead of 86x. There is no difference in code and waterfox is slower to get updates. Pale Moon is an entire fork of Firefox 23 (pre australis) what has been maintained apart from Mozilla for the last few years.
