There won't be a bypass - Fx57 has completely dropped legacy extension support.
This is a good thing, and it's just a shame that so many addons haven't been updated yet.
- ywain 9y agoThis isn't quite true. Support for legacy extensions is disabled by default, but can be re-enabled via the `extensions.legacy.enabled` flag in about:config.
- scholia 9y agoThough you lose multi-process operation, I think....
- branchless 9y agoonly on incompatible MP plugins. however I've just ran nightly and although it says vimfx will work as a legacy plugin it's not working, so the deal's off. I shall not use my mouse!
- mercurial 9y agoYou can try vimium-ff (FF 57-compatible). There is also Tridactyl [1] currently in development. 1: https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl
- ajdlinux 9y agoHuh, thanks for mentioning that! I didn't realise there was still a flag for it - serves me right for not doing my research. Though losing Electrolysis will defeat one of the main benefits of running Firefox 57...
- WCityMike 9y agoOnly in Nightly.
- rebelwebmaster 9y agoDon't expect it to work very well, though, given that a lot of the supporting code for legacy addons was already removed from Gecko 57.
