Don't know many tdetails but...
Eme-free = drm free. So basically, if you want to use firefox to do stuff like view proprietary streaming content (say, netflix), don’t' get this.
Arch64 = for arm...basically crippled versions of Windows. Don't get this.
Just go for regular 64 bit firefox.

I have decided to try Firefox again, only I'm going to start with version 101 to avoid the context menu problem version 102 has. Now I have a question, there seem to be three different version for Windows 64:
win64-EME-free
win64-aarch64
win64
What are those first two?
Thanks!

Get Firefox ESR, it never breaks accessibility.
I think mine is ESR 91.11.0ESR 32 bit, which is fine for a 64 bit system.

Yeah, but I just ignore all of that. I understand that Chrome is just
as bad, only it's Google instead of Microsoft. That is why I am
thinking of giving Firefox another look to see if it is any less
confusing than it was all those years ago.

Edge is too invasive in my opinion, with constantly pushing for an
account for profile, which is just more tracking by MS.

I personally prefer Chrome. Firefox is third on my list, Edge being
number 2.

OK all you Firefox users, it was seven or eight years ago when I
tried Firefox. Other than this current accessibility hiccup, would it
be worth looking at again?

One of the things that Internet Explorer did that I wish these other
browser developers would do is how it handled favorites or bookmarks.
The beauty of Microsoft's approach was that you could just use your
favorite file manager to manage your bookmarks.
