Well that's reassuring! :-)

I've fixed it now anyway, in the way I specifically read that I wasn't meant to do.

Maybe you guys could inform us unsupported old version users what we should do instead of waiting for an update that can't come?

It's ok, thanks for your post. I know stuff is complicated and shit happens.

I'm much more disappointed that the latest Firefox doesn't have a working session manager than I am about this mixup. IMO that should be a core browser function.

In case it still helps you or someone else: A fix for Firefox 52 through 56 is available now at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disabled-add-...

Great. Thank you.

Would you mind please telling whoever you need to that we need automatic session saving/restoring to work properly, and then lots of people like me will happily update.
