Mozilla Firefox Finally Fixes An Awkward, 11 Year Old Linux Bug

Talking about small patches that lead to big results:
I just found out that re-enabling legacy extensions in Firefox 57 is literally one pref away.
Most extensions that don't also depend on Aurora specific UI features (Tab Center doesn't seem to work, I'm afraid. Simply won't render the vertical panel) seem to still work nicely that way.
extensions.legacy.enabled = true

Exactly.
They have driven me to Chromium, and PaleMoon on my machines, also looking at Falkon.
Years of hard work is finally paying off for Mozilla, they have finally managed to make Google Chrome popular on Linux.

Originally posted by Gusar View PostYeah, but they've already started removing code that legacy extensions depended on, and the removal will only continue. So that pref is no guarantee that your favorite legacy extension will continue working. In fact, most will not.
Just seemed "fascinating" to me that they'd only flip a switch for legacy extension whereas most of Aurora is already completely gone.

And what about a 19 yo bug in Firefox dating back to the glorious Netscape days?
And it is affecting all opensource browsers, not just Firefox!
