DRA stuff

Is there any progress on a DRA 3.0?

How do we make DRA work in the new Firefox?

You don't.

What's needed is a DRA 3.0 that'll work with HTML5 browsers. Data updates to a sinking ship hardly seems that important.

Firefox Extended Release doesn't work?

That's not the new Firefox. One of the joys of DRA was that anyone could use it. No one who's not already a devoted election map geek is gonna go to the bother of installing an old version of a browser just to run DRA. By the time the 2020 Census data is ready, and preferably sooner, we need a DRA anyone can use again.

Not disagreeing. But for those in the know, they can easily download extended release and use that until that stops working, no?

Without people being able to easily experiment with it, the group of people in the know will only shrink.  I no longer bother with DRA because it's not worth the hassle to me as it currently exists.

DRA has worked for me in Firefox. So that's a false statement.

It worked in old versions, but not in the current one because it won't load the needed plug-ins.  Sad to say, if you want DRA without going thru a lot of hassle, run IE.
