Firefox Quantum

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Mozilla just did a major update to Firefox called "Quantum" that supposedly will make things more stable and secure (we'll see about that).  However, it breaks a number of add ons that either haven't or cant update to the new restrictions and they released it with no notice to end users who aren't developers that the update might break things, and no easy way to undo the update once done.

I can understand the motivation given by the MF, but the execution has been horribly botched in my opinion.  So for me, this is a Horrible Update, not a Freedom Update.  By the way, does anyone know of a good replacement for BBCode?  Their supposed feature to help you find replacements for broken add ons sucks.  Of the four broken addons I have, it only had an actual recommendation for one. That said, of the addons I had that broke, BBCode was the only one I was seriously using and thus miss as a result.  (The other three, were a tab handler that I'd kept around because of inertia despite being obviated by improvments in the UIs of browsers these days and the other two were my IRC and FTP clients and I don't do either of those these days and might have even broken on an earlier update.)

Quantum is great. Keep crying, chromecucks.

Reliability is important to me, and to me that's much more than stability in any one particular version of the program, but being able to trust that features I use will continue to be usable until I decide that they aren't needed.  The way the MF keeps forcibly rolling out changes means I can't trust them to provide a stable platform.  For now, it will continue to be my primary browser because it's not yet worth the effort to change, but when I next get a new computer, Firefox will not be my primary browser. I can't trust the MF won't break something else for me.
