Firefox 57.0 Released

That's not true. Your browser does exactly the same things that it did yesterday.

If you chose to update to the new version where you knew exactly what extensions would be running and which wouldn't... well, your fault.

I didn't choose to update yet, for exactly that reason.

The problem remains that now I have to choose between:

56 (without security updates)

57 (without many useful extensions)

52ESR (without functionality and performance updates, and only until mid-2018 anyway)

Clearly none of these is as good as what I have had until this point.

i suppose that depends on your OS/update mechanism. mine doesn't.

EDIT: although i have it set to auto-update in the settings, maybe i just don't realize this because i never close/restart it heh :D
