Firefox broken


Recommended Posts

It's not just you!

Mozilla has just made a massive foul-up with Firefox,  causing it to disable and lock out all extensions.

This includes all of the security protections like "noscript",  "adblock plus" and "https everywhere."

Apparently the company is working on an urgent fix.

Meanwhile,  I recommend people stay away from any of the more dodgy sites you might occasionally use,  such as porn tubes,  web galleries etc.

This is why I don't update Firefox as often as the updates are available.  I'm using Firefox 60.  I think they're up to 65 or so.  One techie, a Systems Analyst at Ford, agreed with me that these insanely often updates are not really necessary.  

At some point I do go to a newer version.  For example, I used Firefox 43 and finally updated to 60.  I skipped all versions in between with no ill effect at all.  These companies have made people paranoid about updating.

it only applies if you're using the Firefox Developer or Nightly build

I can confirm that this does not work with the regular build.  I tried setting it just in case,  but my version of Firefox just ignored it. I'm going to wait for the patch rather than re-installing firefox with the developer version.

My broken version is 66.0.3.

I agree,  they went completely insane with updates and version numbers.   It's still one of the best browsers,  but they drive people insane with breaking stuff all the time.

i'm happy with Opera. You also get a FREE vpn as a plugin. Has more options than FFox. I'm done with them since the last crash.
