There's really no good forward if you're stuck in where the author is. Either you upgrade and lose several important addons, and functionality in other addons. These are often what makes Firefox a good browser (for you). The secon

I used to use mingw to cross-build a project. At one point, after updating the toolchain from gcc 4.x to 7.x and from mingw32 to mingw-w64, it started to produce broken binaries. The manifestation of that brokenness was that binaries refuse

I've found that antivirus in general (apart from their bad security practices) consistently fails at multiple of those points. For example: Consumes a lot of resources. Fails to follow design guidelines of the platform, but then again,
