📝 Notes

LibreWolf follows the same registry layout as Firefox, substituting LibreWolf for Mozilla in key names.
Policies can be enforced via HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox (shared with Firefox) or via policies.json.
Profile data lives in %APPDATA%\librewolf\Profiles\ — no registry storage for user data.
When set as the default browser, it writes handlers to HKCU\SOFTWARE\LibreWolf\Capabilities.
