Is allow client side decorations available yet in about:config? It was in a fedora release about 2 months ago, and it was removed because it wasn't in mainline. I have the title bar disabled for now, but that's broken in it's own way(dragging doesn't work right).

#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't know why you are being downvoted. I have the same problem. I'm still stuck with Firefox 56 and no upgrade path in sight. I wish Mozilla declared FF 56 a LTS release for those of us who value their addons more than performance benefits of Quantum. Right now I'm still using an out-of-date release that doesn't receive critical security updates, and I have to choose between either downgrading 4 releases down to F…
Which are the addons you're missing? Do they have a GitHub site?
I miss Tab Groups, FWIW.
Why does it matter if they're on GitHub? Firefox no longer has the APIs for many of these extensions to be possible.

#113> Improved graphics rendering using Off-Main-Thread Painting (OMTP) for Mac users
Does this update improve its power consumption? Currently, Firefox has a significantly larger effect on my MacBook's battery life compared to Safari with similar usage.

#114Does this include the forced collection of the user's usage data?
Better stay away from the evil Mozilla corporation, and instead use one of those other, more privacy-aware, browsers like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
It's okay to do bad things so long as your main competition is worse?
Re: Firefox 59 released
#115Sadly no news on the Web-extensions front. Several of my extensions continue broken.
That's unfortunate. I finally gave up on Firefox as my main browser when 57 came out, and one of the big reasons was that so many of the useful extensions that had set Firefox above other browsers for me were broken and didn't have good replacements. In some of those cases, my understanding is that you can't currently write a direct replacement because the new API doesn't support the required functionality. I was rea…

I never really understood this argument, you gave up Firefox since you could no longer have your XUL/XPCOM extensions in favor of serious browsers who have less WebExt APIs than Firefox and don't have those same extensions?

Ya, I'm really disappointed with the battery consumption on FF, almost wanting me to move back to Chrome (shudder).

> Sadly no news on the Web-extensions front
Did you actually read the release notes? Quoting:
> Enhanced WebExtensions API including better support for decentralized protocols and the ability to dynamically register content scripts.

Re: Firefox 59 released
#119Firefox 59 is the first Firefox release to support SameSite cookie attribute, joining Chrome. > Same-site cookies ("First-Party-Only" or "First-Party") allow servers to mitigate the risk of CSRF and information leakage attacks by asserting that a particular cookie should only be sent with requests initiated from the same registrable domain. I like this one!
How does this play out WRT "Block 3rd party cookies" (which wasn't on by default on Fx and Cr but was on Safari since an eternity?)
Re: Firefox 59 released
#120Still on 56, sadly. The addons crucial for my workflow have stopped working. Shame these concerns were not properly addressed, even after months of clamour about breaking changes like these.
What add-ons?
For me it's LiveClick. http://projects.protej.com/liveclick/
'Display preview in live bookmark item tooltip' and 'keep menu open after middle clicking items' are worth me staying on FF 55 for the time being.
Sure I have tried upgrading and using other addons but nothing really does as well for me as this addon.
