We should definitely not be encouraging learners to use an unsupported version of their browser, for security reasons. For now the ESR version is OK, but IIRC Firefox doesn't like having multiple versions installed at once - and realistically we can't ask all our leaners to stay on the ESR version just for the benefit of SQLite Mgr. In any case, the ESR is a temporar solution for 6-7 months until it leaves support.

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 On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 11:46 AM, Amy E.

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. ~ Amy Amy E.
