> I’m sure Firefox 57 will also get a fair share of sour feedback and comments written in uppercase.
I might be part of that crowd (though in lowercase) because none of the WebExtensions mouse gesture addons work on macOS/Linux anymore due to this outstanding bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1360278
No official dev seems to look into it, and the community patches from the tracker only fix the Linux case.
Yep. I'm not excited about this release at all. Firefox should support gestures natively. Mouse gestures is the only legacy addon I really can't live without so I have turned off automatic updates. Really, it doesn't matter how much faster the new version is if it had to take away so many of the features I've come to rely on over the years. (I have 3 other legacy addons still activated that I really like but that I can live without: classic theme restorer, status 4 evar, and stylish [to control the url bar display, unsupported in the "stylus replacement"].) I have tried Vivaldi but it's not fantastic and it's not open source (but the gestures are more responsive than even the old firegestures).
It seems like the new firefox is just racing to be just like Chrome.
