It seems that the extended support is only going to last until mid 2018, so that is not what I want either. Wonder how long Waterfox is going to last.

Can you post a link? I have looked at their site and all current builds, including dev say that they are not 57 compatible.

So... is there an official guide for downgrading back to an older version? For those of us who lost functionality?

Maybe it is just me, but Tree Style Tabs is ridiculously slow on FF57. Takes about 3 seconds between the moment I hit F1 and the moment the TST sidebar is done loading.

I didn't have any complaints about speed. Who actually cares about browser speed? But I do care that suddenly, my browser looks completely different, half the functionality I use is missing and there is no way for me to get it back. Th

So... my Firefox just auto-upgraded to 57 * No multi-row tab bar and no way to get it (from Tab Mix Plus) * Tabs are ugly square and no way to get them rounded * Tabs are too small and no way to set minimal tab size * Tabs are all the same

> One way to think of ME I think I am a bit out of the current state of events. Is ME short for management engine? If that is the case, what is the problem with it?

I am not trolling, I am asking seriously, but who the hell cares about a couple of extra seconds of page rendering? As long as the page looks and works correctly in the end. But the features that Firefox drops in favor of doing browser equi

But is it going to work once FF drops add-on support?

Looking at the bug you mentioned, the status is "Fix released", so yeah, it too them a while to make a GUI option for lid closing, but they did.

I do not, in fact, have a favorite YT channel for developers. I hate with a fiery passion the recent fad of making everything that is supposed to be text, maybe text with a few pictures into a video. You cannot search a video. You cannot sk

This seems like a really cool idea. Sort of like Jupyter notebooks the way they should be done. I agree with the sentiment that the website could be a bit more comprehensive. I saw "requires no installation" immediately, but then

The burden of proof is on you. What exactly is wrong with Node.js? It is a network server. It is programmed in a popular, expressive, dynamic language that a lot of coders already know. It has a great, well thought out base library. It does

I see some comments call this a "very specific user case". This is not. Pretty much every major web project is going to have tables like that. User sessions are just one example. Sure, you can design around this, but it is a probl

Why would you want to wake up at 5AM in the first place? If all you want is a few more hours of time, why not stay up a few hours later?

Lets correct one sentence. In 16 years of using windows with no anti-virus, you have never gotten a virus that you were aware of.

It is interesting, how he is using OpenSSL, Node.js, Python, Twisted framework and still manages to take a swing at OSS development tools in favor of closed ones. Does this issue even exists on serious operating systems?

This is an interesting project, but how do you intend to monetize this traffic? I do not see any ads, do you intend to have payed accounts?

Doesn't it sort of defeat the purpose? If nobody can anonymously shutdown a web site but the NSA, then every time web site is shut down anonymously, it probably IS NSA.

Not if they only do it to a small percentage of clients and within common sense. Generally the clause is there, so that they have a legal ground to shut you down without waiting for legal process to catch up (i.e. if legal authorities ask t

Well, there is a link to a thread on a webhostingtalk.com, where some people are discussing the issue. After reading the original posting by the blog service provider and some of the replies, here are some basic lessons to be learned from t
