Which legacy addons do you miss?

Post by efox99 »

Now that we are on Firefox 57 which addons do you miss?

I miss:

-Password Exporter
-Saved Password Editor

Those are the only two addons I need to make my Firefox Quantum life complete. I could live without them though, but they are great addons that makes life easier when dealing with password issues.

Two great non-obtrusive addons I greatly will miss now that I'm on FF57.

All of them.
If I wanted to "miss" them, I wouldn't have had them installed in the first place.

And on top of that, many extensions, even if they are not now "Legacy" (IOW have converted to webextensions) are a far cry from what their (former-self) Legacy counterparts were.

Classic Theme Restorer for a couple of the tweaks.
NoScript because it wasn't always calling home to update or load a new list and worked.
Setting Sanity Because it actually gave more control over the browser settings

Wow. :lol:

Not all of them were built to maintain. Some hijacked the browser. I had an addon that changed all my about:config. Then when I removed it, it didn't revert back the settings. To me that is a crappy addon.

I'm with Grumpus.

NoScript. What happened to the "Temporarily allow all this page"? The new GUI sucks, and I'm trying to transition to uMatrix, but I find the GUI confusing.

Classic Theme Restorer. I like my tabs BELOW the bookmarks toolbar, just above the main window. The window tabs are analogous to file tabs, right? So why shouldn't they be just above the browser window?

Status-4-Ever. Always loved the status bar, always will.

I'm still running 56 most of the time. Playing with 58 every couple of days.

@gorp - try uBlock, seems to work with 57, only mildly annoyed at the frequent calls to Fastnet and Cloudflare. No cloud enabled in the control panel.

Actually, every extension I was using in Firefox 54 and since have either been rewritten to be WebExtensions or I have found acceptable functional equivalents. (Obviously, I wasn't big on customizing the UI or real session management or using more than a handful of tabs at a time.)
