Based on recent reviews people said going to a older version of NoSquint Plus extension like 50 made it work again.

NO-SQUINT stopped working today for me too.
Had to start using Firefox`s built in zoomer until a fix comes.

Use the fix in the previous post. I used version 50.0 and it works perfectly.

I did not remove the previous version, installed 50.0 right over the top.

Then, open add on's > go to NoSquint > turn off automatic updates so it won't update to version 52.0 again.

It's been fixed. Uninstall and then reinstall it again.

The only hiccup is with the Full Zoom Level - Default setting button which doesn't do anything.

Same problem here. Does FF put out patches for stuff like this, or do they not care when a new version breaks an add-on and put the onus on the developer of the add-on to come up with a new version to make it work?

Had to comment on this...of course it's on the head of 'any' developer to keep their add-ons working with new releases... pretty much the same for any item added to any major product...not only software but also hardware, like cars etc... you name it. Companies 'out there' make available beta versions of their products so that 3rd parties have access to the products that will be coming out.

Fx 52.0.2 was released March 28 yet the NoSquint Plus problem only started on April 10.

Mozilla does not do updates to Firefox simply because an update for an third-party Extension broke at some point. Besides not everybody was using Fx 52.0.2 when they had the issue with NoSquint Plus.
