Hi,
I have previously taught the SQL lesson successfully, I thought, by
just using the command line. I feel there is an incongruity here - why
should SQL get special treatment when we are so purist about git?
there are lots of good git clients out there but we insist that
people do it on the command line yet for SQL it is different?
The reason why I went with the command line was the fact that lots of
people use ie (now edge) or chrome - why should we expect people to
install firefox if they want to learn SQL? Using the command line is
also more consistent with the other lessons: bash, git, ...

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,

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.

Get Firefox Quantum. New. Fast. Fierce.

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.
Fast for good.
