Firefox 66.0.4 is out, fixes disabled add-ons

I too use only two extensions, uBlock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere and the hotfix pushed by Mozilla re-enabled them within half an hour of disabling. I do sympathise with those who apparently lost the settings of certain addons, notably Container based ones. Fortunately I always found the UX of Containers so clunky that I never bothered.

Sticking with Firefox as an open competition to the browser monopoly is critical now more than ever before.

I think this fact cannot be emphasized enough. Or we'll have the 90s monopolized web again: "Optimized for Chrome" - not that there'd be a lack of websites already doing that as of now.

Mozilla fine tuning some of their practices is as critical. These hn threads might give good pointers by concerned, well-meaning users.
