If Mozilla had a clue and got outside, rather than kick them in the head, they would have hired/consulted some rather talented UI/Extension/Themer guys and gals around here.

Aris only posted it as an example of mockups not making it into the actual Release.

Read the comments of Poe: the perfect example of a next-generation user for which Mozilla only does care today. No wonder customization is no priority for them anymore.
Also the follow-up comments of that Lestat guy are amusing

Re: Old Firefox Extensions Will Stop Working in Firefox 57,
still not 100% sure what my plan is, but im toying around with Chrome atm as there i really dont think will be much if any difference, only real Addons i depend on atm are DownthemAll ( which will be Dead afaik ) an im not sure about the Download Youtube Video's as MP4, i asint heard if thats gonna be a WebExtension but i could prolly say it wont if Google are blocking those Extensions
Now You: What's your plan if some of your must-have add-ons won't be available when the WebExtensions exclusive version of Firefox launches?

Hi -Arch-,
Well, in my case, I'll continue to use v20, fully configured to my liking or occasionally go with or v50 or maybe v52.
(Can't configure these to display the same as v20.)
&, as long as all my "normal" sites function, that's where I'll stay.

Re: Old Firefox Extensions Will Stop Working in Firefox 57,
Hi,
I believe that Maxthon sends info home.
Was a thread or post here a little while ago about it. (Can't find it ATM.)
I un-installed it soon afterwards. JIC.
WIN 10 is bad enough.

Seriously... Why Chrome usage in general... Chrome is the most disgusting of all browser and Blink is horrible too.-Arch- wrote:atm im seeing more Fedora linux users opt for Chrome over Firefox, but having said that i do find Chromes bookmarking easier for me, ( as in easier to get a bookmark ) ( show bookmarks bar ) i hate this bookmarks Hamburger CrapLIMPET235 wrote:Hi -Arch-,

On Windows even Edge or IE-11 is more tolerable, and that actually says much!

or you could also read official report from here - https://exatel.pl/advisory/maxthonreporten.pdf
tl;dr - using Maxthon isn't safe

You do know those are both SM compat without any conversion, right?-Arch- wrote:... only real Addons i depend on atm are DownthemAll ( which will be Dead afaik ) an im not sure about the Download Youtube Video's as MP4
I don't use the first one, but I use YT MP4 Downloader ver. 1.3.3.1 all the time.
