FF ESR 60.2.0 backout?

[iamme99]

I foolishly updated to ESR 60.2.0 today. Now many of my add-on's don't work and my UI is hosed up. How do I back this out and return to the previous version?

Only with a profile backup and 52esr latest. Your current profile is not reversable. Anyhow you better deal with this instead using a vulnerable browser and search/ask for replacements. And its high recommended to start with a clean profile and copy only the hand full if important data. Any specific profile like yours has issue sooner than later.

Lucky I had an Acronis image backup from a couple of days ago, so was able to restore.

It's nasty when Mozilla does a major update like the jump to ESR 60.x and does not tell the user what will happen! More than half my add-on's were disabled, I lost my status bar, various customizations did not work and more.

I'll consider updating if and when I am ready. Right now, I am going to look into Waterfox, which I hear will not kill my add-on's.

Why do I need to use FF, which seems to be a Chrome look-alike these days? Why not just use Chrome?

Why indeed?

Locking this as there seems to be no further support issues to address.
