Firefox 52 ESR End of Life

[Wheelerof4te]

All firefox extensions must be installed from mozilla thru the browser instead of from the repo with apt?

That's the gist of it. XUL package extensions don't work in Stable.

If you have time, can you explain a little better?

Yes, of course. I will try to explain.

Does xul-ext-noscript break with the upgrade?

Yes. This guy was simply inactive. It was written that the plugin is not supported and you need to look for an alternative. The NoScript plugin has been installed from the official Debian repository. I do not know why it did not recur and became incompatible with the new version of Firefox-esr. The version of Debian Stretch is 2.9.0.14-1, in Sid 5.1.7-1. Debian 10 does not have this extension at all. Maybe he's not stable enough, maybe something else ....so I did not fill the bug report.

What's web store?

It is addons for Firefox web site. Similar to Chrome Web Store.

I prefer stuff that complies with DFSG

I think that NoScript complies with DFSG and installing plugins from this web store is safe enough.

If all the addons there are DFSG compliant then I guess that will be fine with me. I'll do some checking on that. Thanks for the link, I did not find that site on a websearch for firefox web store.

According to this link, the AMO website is probably not something I'd be interested in. Doesn't look conforming to DFSG at all. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... cy/Reviews

Thanks for the link,

You are welcome!

I do not know about other extensions. Personally, I use only one-NoScript. As for NoScript, it is free and open source. For others, care should be taken.

so tabmix plus seems to be the only extension that i can't get

but i seem to have been able to get the same functionality through other add-ons

edit - actually tab groups is really the one that i really hated losing
