My neighbor (the same one) told me that he had installed the ‘Classic Theme Restorer” when after a Firefox update (forgot which one) he had discovered that his back/forward arrows had disappeared : he installed the add-on ONLY for that reason! What I mean is that I try to understand what seems beyond my first understanding because I know it’s a fact : many users, a wide majority, consider a computer as if it was a TV, or a closet, they fill, strive to find … they just use the computer as a tool, they focus on their interests with the means of a tool for which they lack the slightest regard :)Īnyway, let’s hope all gets to fit with time. Very few techies, several medium-skilled users, more unskilled but concerned and … a wide wide wide majority of users for whom the browser is another planet… and those will be Mozilla’s you’d be surprised! It’s not a problem of the amount of legacy add-ons (I agree that most users have very few, that those they have are likely to be the featured ones and consequently upgraded to Webextensions) but the fact should you have one extension only on which you rely and that this add-on gets bumped out with FF57 can lead more than one user to anger, especially if it’s a surprise (“Surprise!”).
I mean, we can’t buy a full page on the The New York Times, 30 seconds daily TV/Radio spots, or even start yelling in the middle of our towns that Firefox 57 requires acknowledgement and decisions, can we? It’s not a problem of idiocy of course but simply that some users are totally off their browser’s evolution, either because their occupations are elsewhere either because they just don’t give a damn. Ghacks and others have repeatedly informed of the reality, consequences, work-arounds related to Firefox 57 but if you never ever drop an eye on such sites you just don’t know. All your data is synchronized in real time.You tell him! What I meant by sharing this part of my life is that my neighbor’s behavior is relevant I’m afraid of many users’ reaction, that is those users who never visit technological browser dedicated Websites, who don’t even know that FF57 will bury their legacy add-ons, who will have their 56 updated and discover one morning that their Firefox is a mess, the Win10 syndrome as I call it.
