So how do you adjust the Flexible Space? About all I can do is move or remove it.

Hobbes is cool!

In the the latest build is "extensions.legacy.enabled" set to false? I forgot to check as I reverted back to 20170810 build because my addons were no longer working. So question: Is the workaround for v57 is to set "extensions.legacy.enabled" to true so that legacy addons will always work?

It reset it to false automatically, setting it back to true made the legacy addons work again, but its probably a matter of days till this stops working.

Hamburger Menu (looks more like a Big Mac to me) -> Customize. Then you can drag each Flexible Space from the sides of the address bar down to the pallet of possible actions, and that deletes it from around the address bar.

I haven't tried it (already had drilled into Customize and deleted them there), but some elements can be deleted by a Right+Click, "Remove".

Even with "extensions.legacy.enabled" manually set back to True, I have seen reports on the Firefox subreddit that some extensions are now broken. For example, I saw a post saying that both AdBlock Plus and uBlock Origin are broken. Fortunately, gorhill has a WebExtensions-only version of uBlock Origin available on the AMO beta channel: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... sions/beta

extensions.legacy.enabled will definitely work on Nightly for a long period of time, another question is how long will these extensions work

When you switch to Vivaldi, or maybe the Tab Center Test Pilot experiment will become a system add-on like Screenshots and have that capability. It didn't in the experiment.
My Vivaldi addon stopped working yesterday... unless I'm confused.

Well I just found out, installed Nightly Portable and set "extensions.legacy.enabled" true. Some extensions still work others like LastPass for example does not, also addons page will not allow you to install legacy addons even with the pref. set to true. I got the few legacy addons that works installed by copying profile from Nightly regular install.

Oh yeah, that Vivaldi. I meant tabs below the address bar, not on the bottom of the browser. Can't seem to do this either with Vivaldi so far.

lol Is Mozilla allowed to use a Hobbes icon for Nightly?.....

Crap, I forgot how I fixed that.... I think the person who had the answer said turn the search bar back on temporarily (odd part to the fix, I know), but also to delete/replace a specific file. I can't remember exactly what... >.<

Ah, here it is:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... #p14754392

It's something like, re-enable the search bar, close Nightly and do the steps in comment 12 in this link, or something like that.
