Looks like Firefox 62 is out. Also, Firefox ESR 52 is EOL now so everybody is being upgraded to ESR 60, which means lots of tears as people's old XUL extensions are disappearing.

I can wait it out. If they don't update, I may have to get 62.

Honestly, the "rip the bandaid off" change to WebExtensions for 57 is probably preferable to what's happening in Thunderbird, where it's just death by a thousand cuts as features in Gecko are removed so stuff breaks (e.g. TB 60 now requires you to do some other new thing to make options panes work since the old way got deleted). I wrote a half-dozen TB extensions and I really don't feel motivated to update them all every few months...

Nah, Pale Moon has been getting increasingly divorced from the underlying Firefox engine for years now. Which means it's also gotten progressively shitter as more and more of the modern internet breaks using it due the devs steadfast commitment to not implementing modern standards because "The Man doesn't own us and also, why aren't websites and extension devs making special accommodations for our lovely 2012-time warp browser and why is Flash being sunset this is discrimination, curse you Googleeeeeee!!!"

Having a hard cutoff for XUL is fine but ff57 and 58 were buggy, memory-leaking messes that should never have seen the light of day. They were missing table stakes features that both Chrome and Firefox had for years.

Jewel Repetition posted:Thanks. Is there a way to see at a glance what profile a window is? The easiest way would be to give each profile its own theme (or a special toolbar button or something). If you don't want different browser settings for each "profile", you could also just use container tabs, which add a special color to each tab so you know what's what.

Still, making prefs like this more accessible to people who aren't turbonerds is always nice.

Looks like 63 (Dev Edition) doesn't support media.autoplay.enabled anymore and I can't seem to find any GUI options for disabling autoplay, either. Anyone have any ideas?

The browser is incredibly fast so far. I have to applaud them for making a noticeable speed boost, unless it really was from knocking out a few add-ons.

Google didn't like that and said they were going to completely distrust all Symantec SSL certs in Chrome. Symantec then sold their CA business to DigiCert and now browsers are removing trust in the old Symantec root certs.

Jewel Repetition posted:How does Firefox's CPU and memory usage compare to Chrome? No idea. Firefox and Chrome get new releases constantly so benchmarks are usually outdated. Best to just download them both and see how your own personal use case fares.

i did some dinking around with Windows shortcuts a while back and got to a Chrome-like behavior where i could pin two profiles to my (Win 10) taskbar and they would open correctly and not stumble over each other, so it's possible. I don't remember how I did it though

Right click to the left of your address bar and click "bookmark toolbar". If there's nothing there, check your bookmark manager and see if you need to move over bookmark toolbar stuff from Chrome. As for Cookies, I've never had a browser import from anything to anything save my logged in websites? Can you just... log back in?
