Mozilla Foundation pausing cryptocurrency donations

They had a perfectly working browser and replaced it with a broken one with no support for extensions, printing/PDF, and WebAuthn.

about:config is currently disabled, so for instance setting proxies no longer work. Ah, I see one of the … 18 supported extensions is a proxy setter.

Basically they shipped premature beta software and abandoned the stable working version.

I don't know about printing or WebAuthn, but I'm on Nightly and extensions (particularly uBlock Origin) work just fine AFAICT. And so does about:config.

WebAuthn works now, but it was a regression.

Nightly supports about:config but stable does not.

Only a specific short list of extensions are supported.
