There are already third party utilities that inject dlls or monitor the mozilla windows to allow features lost when legacy extension support was removed.
I saw on ghacks the other day about ThunderBirdTray which is a 3rd party executable that watches Thunderbird to restore the functionality lost when MinimizeToTray stopped working.
Improved privacy, better download managment(DownloadThemAll what it used to be able to do), OS integration, ect have for the most part been eroded away.
Eventually things seem like they will escalate to the point you'll have to use CheatEngine, a suite of 3rd party programs running in the background, or special compiles of the browser made by 3rd parties like WaterFox or yourself to get chrome or firefox to do anything in addition to loading a webpage, and to stop it from doing a lot of unwanted things.
- nzd 7y agoI'm quite happy since the day I left official Firefox. First I disabled auto-updates at v55.0 for some long time and then switched to Waterfox. So far the switch is a peace of mind and I don't feel disrespected when I see news like this any more. Mozilla is unfortunately losing its meaning since they decided to follow Google closely. Firefox one day will be a marginal browser. Or maybe it already is?
- Polylactic_acid 7y agoI have been very happy with firefox recently. All of my extensions like script blockers and tree tabs have been ported to the new system and the browser has been super fast and full of great new features/privacy improvements.
- smnthermes 7y agoTree tabs is still severely limited.
- Polylactic_acid 7y agoIn what way? It does everything I did before (put the tabs in a tree on the side)
- samantohermes 7y agoWaterfox doesn't really have a future. However, Pale Moon has a maintained XUL platform and redundancy in terms of developers.
