It seems it would not make the cut, can anybody suggest an alternative.

Hours of work, spoilt.

After the event I found my partial edition, now a named version in the history of the document:

  • 2017-08-23 03:12 work in progress by Graham Perrin, interrupted and overwritten

– but I don’t intend to revisit, recreate and complete the edition. The waste of time was intolerable.

Search by Image can be used as a replacement for legacy reverse image search add-ons. The next version will also allow searching for local images.

I think Containers On The Go should be a good replacement for Private Tab. Not sure if Containers will be by default in v57. If you do not have containers experiment enabled, it will not work.

And it’s what makes Firefox Great (xul?), without it FF is nothing, without it there is no reason for me to continue using Firefox.
I really hope there will be a fork that continues to support the ‘Legacy’ extensions I use, especially classic theme restorer, EasyCopy, ImageZoom, NukeAnything Enhanced, Saved Password Editor, and a dozen more.

Either 57 supports my extensions or I cease support for firefox, there’s no 2 ways about it, I expect a large % of the userbase will also leave. Moz’ is crazy, it couldn’t of done a better job of committing suicide if it tried.

I was also furious when I found out… :frowning: But when I saw all the issues XUL extensions create and the performance drawbacks, I started looking for WebExtension alternatives.

I can’t believe how fast Firefox is now. It’s like Chrome but more customizable and built by a community I trust. All of my old XUL extensions have WE ports or alternatives.

Maybe a better replacement for SixOrNot and IPvFox: a port from Chrome: IPvFoo by Paul Marks. (That’s the one I am using today.)

IPvFoo is really nice.

Sorry to be on rush and can’t make fancy entries as above.

For me there are many add-ons I would need, but I am depending on Tab Groups. Where could I find alternative to such productive functionality, as the its developer quit migrate it to WebExtensions technology?

Waiting the https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1384515, then https://github.com/kesselborn/taborama or others.

There are some recommendations in Appendix B: Firefox Add ons · ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js Wiki.

… untimely appearances of hundreds of unwanted tabs - Firefox stops responding before the extension can be disabled - it’s necessary to manually remove the extension from the file system. …

Also: see this month’s post from @amyt (Community Manager for Add-ons and Marketplace) – and other Tab Groups-related posts – under the January 2017 topic begun by Tab Groups users @irvin:
