I will word this as friendly as possible, as otherwise the gHacks censors would come for me: They could pool their efforts around their common goals to make something great, but they won’t because they all want to be in charge and they all think they know Tobin Paradigm Is this what Alex’s “new browser” is, or is there something impressive coming? Either way Firefox is obviously about to die as it’s got Linux Syndrome – a condition where lots of people with similar goals insist on running their own projects independently due to blind idealism and personality disorders.

The browser vendors aren’t grateful for us volunteering, they see us an an exploitable source of free labour.
It’s always *our* time that’s required, and for no legitimate reason. I’ve updated extensions several times already – hundred of hours gone – always because someone with OCD is on a power trip at Mozilla and they want all the APIs to look the same. This solution is insufficient, and it’s the kick I needed to move to Vivaldi. This is a lot of work but it isn’t impossible and several official versions of Firefox have done it – usually developer versions in the transition periods. What this news tells us is that Waterfox development isn’t dedicated enough to maintain a forked version of Firefox that includes new features from Mozilla and preserves the old ones.

The code to run old extensions already exists within old Firefox. Not quite sure I understand the vitriol for myself or Waterfox in there, at the end of the day I’m trying to make the web a better place (apologies for the cliché) and I’d like to do it the way I envision (with the guidance of what users have been asking for).

That was all, and it was meant as a way to attract developers to developing for the platform.Īlso a paywall in the way mentioned in that thread makes no logical sense – users would just find another source for add-ons to install them. similar to purchasing an app on the App Store. What I mentioned was giving the developers the options to monetise their own add-ons if they wished to do so as a way to earn money. > Should I remind that he even tried to paywall extensions that would run on Waterfox exclusively, but were existing legacy extensions? There seems to be a lot of manipulations of things I have said in that thread I am only going to reply to an especially egregious statement as it is rather defaming: As a Waterfox user, you may want to test your extensions in the coming Alpha version to find out which work fine and which may need updating (or cannot be used anymore).
It is unclear how many are affected.Īn Alpha version of Waterfox 68 will be released in the near future. It seems that other types of legacy extensions won't be supported anymore. Popular add-ons may be ported by volunteers or Kontos himself but there is the chance that less popular ones may not. Most Waterfox users probably cannot modify extensions to make them compatible with the Waterfox 68 release. The list includes DownThemAll, S3 Download, Greasemonkey, Private Tab, Save File To, or Stylish. Some popular extensions have been ported already. It is used to apply XUL code to the user interface.
The upcoming Waterfox release launches with add-on system changes that will render older legacy extensions unusable but part of them can be updated so that they run in Waterfox 68.
