Agreed, so annoying I moved to Chrome. I see bug 1946121 is closed and being rolled out in version 137 (planned April 1) with no fix planned for current (136) version. Brutal. Anyways I took into my own hands and switched browser.

A related topic: Every time Firefox updates, the "save passwords" option is turned on. I use a third party password manager. This turning on is very annoying. Please stop doing that with every update.
