Today for the first time I could see – but not with a released version of Firefox – what I have waited months to see:
- an overview of what I’ll probably lose if I choose Firefox 57 or greater.
So many yellow alerts:
Longer than it might appear at a glance (in Discourse), so click to view a fuller extent (not the full extent; the shot was taken after disabling some of the extensions that I know to be in the firing line).
Deeply disheartening.
Re: Firefox Release Calendar - MozillaWiki a year from now I’ll be:
- almost certainly on Firefox ESR 52.8
- probably unable to use some of what I recently enjoyed with Firefox 53
- almost certainly unable to use Tab Center Redux, which requires 55 or greater
– and I assume that development of Tab Center will cease some time before 57 is released.
What a mess.
A few related topics, some of which I might try to digest over the coming weekend:
