Hi all,
a quick comment: old versions of firefox are well handled and maintained
(and called ESR), so we are safe for some time (but participants will
have to download and unzip an additional version.
(another formulation, from the issue)
When Firefox 57 rolls out, people that need a supported browser but
don't want to lose access to SQLite Manager can probably use Firefox
ESR (Extended Support Release):

Cheers,

Great. Thanks, Karen.
Kevin, my concern is that I often come across learners that don’t have
Firefox installed who might have trouble locating a compatible version
for the SQL lesson, or who use Firefox and won’t know that they
shouldn’t upgrade and overwrite the version they have, because they
don’t know they’ll sign up for this workshop next week/month/whatever.

Thanks, Amy! I've created an issue in the repo with suggestions for
short term (updating setup instructions) and long term (finding
alternatives) solutions.

You can also continue using an older version of Firefox. There is
no necessary reason to upgrade immediately.

Hi Amy,
That's a good point. It's going to be interesting to monitor
what's going to happen in the next few weeks. It looks like many
addons (including some very popular commercial ones) are
incompatible with this new version of firefox. I assume that the
developers of these addons are going to catch up and make them
compatible. However, it's not clear if it's also going to be the
case for SQLite manager and this thread doesn't seem too
promising: https://github.com/lazierthanthou/sqlite-manager/issues/75
It might be a good idea to explore alternatives. I saw that
plotly recently released a cross-platform database interface named
Falcon: https://plot.ly/database-connectors/ (Linux version
available from:
https://github.com/plotly/falcon-sql-client/releases/latest).
sqlitebrowser (https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser) is
actively maintained and also cross-platform.
cheers,
-- François

I just downloaded the new Firefox Quantum and discovered that
SQLite Manager no longer works – it’s automatically disabled
and only gives me the option to Remove it.
Hopefully the older version we still be available for a while,
but we may need to make a note in the lesson materials about
the version people need to use for the SQL lessons. Right now
I’m seeing that they haven’t made it easy to access downloads
for older versions. I’m not finding it.

The new Firefox. Fast for good.
Today we’re thrilled to introduce you to our brand new browser
— Firefox Quantum.
What you’ll notice first is that the new Firefox is blazing
fast. In fact, you’ll enjoy speeds up to twice as fast as a
year ago. It’s also more powerful. We’ve rebuilt Firefox from
the ground up to focus on how you use the Web today to watch,
listen, create and play without limits. We’re excited to
deliver a browser that feels completely different — modern,
quick and efficient. We think you’ll agree: It’s a quantum
leap forward in how you’ll experience the internet.
When you use Firefox, you’re also contributing to a movement
to ensure the internet remains a global public resource, open
and accessible to all. As an independent, not-for-profit
organization, we’ve been committed since 2003 to building
products that put you in control of your online life and
advancing open technology and public policy that promote a
healthier internet. We put you at the center of everything we do.
On behalf of Mozilla's global community, we're proud to
introduce you to the new Firefox.
