First THANK YOU to the developer, for a long time this ext. has severed me well.
Developer, tell me the truth, should I update your extension or stay with the previous? Most ext. updates have been seriously weakened by Moz’s new protocol.
Since Mozilla started this API thing, all the best apps are falling apart. These are the things that brought me to FF in 03’ after my only PC virus via that thing some still call a browser… IE.
Don’t get me wrong (Millennials you’re probably not gonna’ get this) but Microsoft, i.e. IE, Office, hotmail, Outlook Express were the gold standard. Even back in the 90’s it was easy to figure out AOL had problems, but Yahoo was my home page on IE for years. I had one, yes one email acc. And I had my privacy, probably because the I Phone, Fake Book, and Twatter had not yet been developed.
If you’re under 40 you have no idea how cool the internet was, also how unobtrusive and how your employer didn’t mandate you use IT. As a teacher and a coach I saw the value of Word, and Excel. It wasn’t mandated, but when applicable to work I used it. It was a tool, not a ball and chain. And very few sites/software were a Malware concern. Heck, we weren’t even sure what malware was. The only thing I understood that holds true today was/is passwords can’t be 1,2,3,4 or “password”. But most of my PW’s were 4-6 characters and we were pretty safe.
My mistake was I didn’t yet know IE was insecure, that there were alternatives, and didn’t value AV software. I’d let my free 90 day AV from McAfee on my Gateway (yeah, laugh, please) lapse when I bought in 99’. I had no idea what Avira free, SPAM, Malwarebytes were at that time.
Fast forward to the Google Era.
Now FF is killing it’s best developers in either an attempt to become a Chrome Clone, or out of compliance to Google. Moz, do you want to be the new Yahoo or IE? Just keep digging that hole.
When I see users vitching at developers like Mr. Kang who made X-notifier (I now have like 7 email accounts), I get pissed off. Good stuff, that’s free and out of their control… Big Brother doesn’t like that. That’s why I dumped my Mac in the late 80’s. Proprietary sucks, sorry I-folks but Mr. Jobs really screwed us all. Even with legacy ext. Rollbacks when possible, eventually the FF extension/software are broken/rejected. It’s a blanking shame.
FF, remember when you were Netscape? If you assimilate, you will die. Yahoo turned into a turd around the time the I Phone was introduced… hmm?
I find myself using Opera more and more. Yeah, I’m first to admit the extension mostly suck, but they have U Origions and HTTPS Everywhere. Also Opera has it’s own VPN built in, which Google seems to kinda’ hate. So FF, if you hassle No Script, I’m done w/FF.
Again, THANKS to the developer and years of great service!!!
Consider bolting to Opera or creating something new with other developers that isn’t Tor or Linux based if Moz makes continues to make life difficult.
You da’ man, man!
