The new update of firefox render it completely unusable and unsafe to
use as essential addons are disabled without asking the user.
- Foxproxy - In the setup where I use firefox, I need to configure proxy
far behind the possibilities that firefox gives me. So without that
addon, I am actually cut of from internet completely.
On one hand, that is good as otherwise I would be endangered due to
the following disabled addons.
- Noscript - Present internet is absolutely to dangerous to browse
without Noscript. As a short term solution, JS could be completely
disabled but it is needed to enable it on some trusted sites.
- HTTPS Everywhere
- Status-4-Evar - Without this addon, it is a blind flight without
instruments to browse internet. Every link will be a surprise where it
leads to.
- Y U no validate - Without that addon it is easily possible to
accidentally accept an invalid TLS certificate forever. That opens up
for many problems.
- DNSSEC/TLSA Validator - I need to be able to check the validity of
TLSA entries. It is sad that firefox has no buildin check for that.
But now it even disables the only addon that was able to verify them.
- Cookie Monster
Beside that there are several addons that bring back some stuff that was
dropped from firefox but without, browsing is impossible.
- Tabgruppen - Without that feature, I have about 1000 Tabs open at the
same time. Firefox is unusable without that addon.
- Tab Mix Plus - The same, it makes Tabbed browsing even more usable.
- UAControl - Several sites require to set special UA to be able to
access them. Including some embedded devices I need to use at work.
"Funny" think ist that noscript was updated too but the update is
incompatible to currect firefox.
