I read where FF Esr will let some addons work.
Am looking to get ReminderFox working.
I tried FF Esr 60.5, but my addon attempt said it was no compatible.
I tried 52.9, but it would not start.
Any other options?
Firefox ESR

Re: Firefox ESR
When it would not start, was there an error message? In a recent thread someone tried to run the 32-bit Firefox on 64-bit Linux, make sure you got 52.9.0 64-bit.

Re: Firefox ESR
Thanks so much. I had downloaded the 32 bit version.
Now ReminderFox is now running.

Re: Firefox ESR
One more thing. I want to make sure that FF never updates the ESR version.
I have done these.
There is a way to disable updates by going through the Options menu but after disabling it through there, when you would go to Help > About Firefox, it would update regardless of that setting. 2 methods here, pick one. You can set these prefs in about:config to disable automatic updating:
app.update.auto - false
app.update.enabled - false
app.update.silent - false

Re: Firefox ESR
Try this:
I think if you modify the pref in about:config, then the browser overrides the pref in the channel-prefs.js file.

Edit the file C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\channel-prefs.js
Make the line say pref("app.update.channel", "esrDisabled");

Re: Firefox ESR
Something strange happened this morning.
My firefox ReminderFox extension was removed.
Did Firefox do that?
I reinstalled it.
The reminder data was still present?

Re: Firefox ESR
reminderfox wont run with x64? tales!
i think its fixed to a previous 32 bit build of firefox. you need to re-install reminderfox, or if that dont help - uninstall and reinstall.
that is same effect as mozilla archive format (maff) which put path to firefox in registry depending x86 or x64. reinstalling helped.

Re: Firefox ESR
I have restarted computer 3 or 4 times and ReminderFox is still installed.
Another one of those mysteries.
