    » https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive For me, before Firefox 57, it worked superbly for me. Afterwards, of my 13 essential addons, only 2 still worked and one of those was trivial and unimportant. It destroyed my browser and drove me away from using Firefox after nearly 20 years, dozens of computers and ½ dozen different operating systems. Other cut functionality: The best cross-platform FOSS email client, by far, is Mozilla Thunderbird. Mozilla has <i>repeatedly</i> tried to kill it. https://www.theregister.com/2020/01/30/mozilla_thunderbird_has_a_new_nest/ Mozilla also has cut off Seamonkey, the original Mozilla Internet Suite. https://www.seamonkey-project.org/ Mozilla code is the one remaining FOSS WYSIWYG HTML editor, as included in Seamonkey. It threw it out. So far the following forks tried to maintain it: Kompozer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/ NVu: http://www.nvu.com/ BlueGriffon: http://bluegriffon.org/ Mozilla has no real idea <i>why</i> people use Firefox or what they want. It has forced wildly unpopular new features on people, such as the Australis theme. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/974802 It's forced telemetry that kicked the entire browser offline for millions: https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/18/foxstuck_firefox_browser_bug_boots/ And yet it includes a huge complicated "developer mode" that 99.9% of users never want and never see. Mozilla's Boot2Gecko became FirefoxOS which became KaiOS, the fastest-growing mobile OS in the world. https://www.kaiostech.com/ Mozilla abandoned FirefoxOS. KaiOS is proprietary. Mozilla licensing should make that illegal. Is Mozilla enforcing it? No. Who wrote the license? Mozilla CEO Mitch Baker. Salary: $3 million in 2020. Also 2020: Mozilla fired 250 people, quarter of its workforce.
