I'm finding the Waterfox section of Reddit almost unusable*. Any other recommended forum or group for Waterfox users please?
* Example: would not allow me to post until I had 'corrected' words like 'Autodesk' and - yes - 'Waterfox'.

Just saw this, don't know if you're still interested. I also use Waterfox, and Reddit is the only game in town. The layout is strange and confusing, and I've had to force myself to use it. I haven't been able to duplicate your problem. Could it be your spellchecker that's misbehaving, not the website?
I found just one other forum for Waterfox, and it has an average of 1 post for each year since WF's inception.
Mozillazine has the potential to be a help site, but there aren't enough WF users here to provide support.

4td8s--
Not a scandal, but they are an advertising company. I use a bookmark to duckduckgo in all my browsers, so I hope no one makes money on it.
And there are plenty of browsers. If WF gets shady, there are enough other choices besides Chrome. The world won't collapse.

Re: Waterfox discussion?
Waterfox you just lost a user. You did the same thing Firefox did then backtracked due to the uproar of its users, me included. The stupid idea of double spacing menu items. Just do not see the plus side of doing that.
