Same here.
I've tried alternatives like Waterfox and Pale Moon, but Waterfox is incompatible with some sites, and Pale Moon is dog slow, so I reverted back to Firefox 56.
Not upgrading a browser is a scary situation to be in, but I just can't sacrifice the usability of Vimperator.
- sundarurfriend 9y ago> I've tried alternatives like Waterfox and Pale Moon, but Waterfox is incompatible with some sites Oh, I haven't experienced that in a few months of usage. What kind of incompatibilities did you come across? I was initially reluctant about trying Waterfox and made several backups of my then-Firefox profile, but it's been a smooth sail and an easy switch so far.
- imiric 9y agoIn Waterfox, Slack shows a message that it doesn't support the browser and refuses to load. This could possibly be bypassed by changing the UA, but I don't agree with that workaround. Although, if hard pressed, I might have to. And I mistakenly wrote Pale Moon above, when I meant IceCat. I've yet to try Pale Moon, but it's on my list.
- kazinator 9y agoI use Slack at work as a requirement. I tried going into its video chat feature and it said that it's not supported on Firefox, please use Chrome. So that's where Slack is w.r.t. Firefox; never mind FF derivatives.
- KwanEsq 9y agoPlease consider using ESR 52 instead of 56. ESR 52 gets security patches until June 2018. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2017/10/04/firefox-support-for-windows-xp-and-vista/ https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2017/10/04/firefox-s...
- kazinator 9y agoI'm posting this comment using FF 56 also. I don't agree with the decisions they made. I think that the old extension mechanism is fine; add-ons should be able to integrate deeply into browser internals.
