Maybe the lesson could use some instructions for creating a multiplatform thumb
drive installer so that it can be a copy-and-run workflow that doesn't require
a lot of redundant network throughput.

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):

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.<https://click.e.mozilla.org/?qs=e6d286535596ede624a94eaae616d8fb25515597a85a50e60a92f737155750679b9d2391f18108ee11f6ab1bb08323fd51181b321bd5b9e7>
