Got home tired, saw some updates, clicked install and 30 seconds too late "Oh shit" firefox
I have been hearing dire warning about firefox 57 some even from firefox itself but was naive about implications. ass-u-me that they would give some upgrade protections? - WRONG My malfunction was the session manager addon. I use it to save windows sets for various research purposes shopping, medical, game play, etc after installing firefox 57 started in a profile and no session manager **** or path to the saved session sets **** reverted to firefox 56 and after restart, all my saved sessions were wiped in that profile by firefox 57! however, in a different profile not touched from firefox 57 its saved sessions were present I had to restore the "touched (or cursed)" profile from a backup earlier in the day My Two Cents ============ If and when you upgrade to firefox 57 1) make sure to have saved the latest firefox 56 in case you want to restore firefox_56.0+linuxmint1+rosa_amd64.deb in my Mint 2) backup up your firefox profile directories under ~/.mozilla/firefox in my Mint 3) first create a test profile, say dunsil like the Star Trek dummy and only use that one until you feel pretty comfy with function, addons and protections 4) btw noscript is still 1 to ??? days away from release for firefox 57 but ghostery is good to go. replacements for other beloved addons vary but didn't see any migration tools to pull info from the beloved legacy addons they were targeted to replace/upgrade Like instructions to cage fighters: Protect yourselves at all times.
