Instead I switched to Waterfox which is just Firefox with all of the bullshit excluded.

The problem isn't what is in Firefox now, it's what will be in Firefox in the future. It's their clearly established predilection for mindless trend-chasing and willingness to ignore their users' clearly stated wishes in order to pack the damn thing full of crap nobody wants anyway rather than actually utilize their comparatively meager resources towards actually developing the actual browser part of the browser. That's a huge issue.
