Hi Jeremy, Beaker Browser is very interesting and will probably be the locus of lots of interesting, geeky experiments but it's not the solution we need as a community.
As a more practical matter, do you think it will be possible to update the main site before Firefox 57? I think it would be best for us (you) to have a clear message on the front page about the change to previous behaviour. There will be some users who have been party to none of our discussions who find themselves 'locked out' of Tiddlyfox sometime before the end of November. The simplest stop-gap solution is for them to switch to Firefox ESR (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/) which should last for another six months or so while the wider community figures out what can be done about extensions. There is a pretty good chance that someone will try to fork Firefox and keep the plugin mechanism alive for a while. In the meantime, as this discussion shows, we have a plethora of options to develop. Regards, Richard PS: "...easy enough for an old lady like myself to use.

Just wanted to point out that 'non-technical old ladies' don't generally own Linux laptops! :-) On Thursday, September 21, 2017 at 3:20:20 AM UTC+10, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Thanks for the interesting discussion.
