Waterfox Browser Updates

[ashwin]

Waterfox 56.0


Waterfox will now remain at 56 for the time being, following the security releases of 59 ESR until it becomes End of Line (Q1 2019). In the meanwhile, a “new” browser will be developed to follow the ethos of Waterfox of customisation and choice, while staying up to do date with the rapidly evolving browser landscape.

• Based on Firefox 56.0.2 release
  
• Security patches from 57 release
  
• Fixed GUI rendering issues on macOS High Sierra
  
• Fixed search suggestions not appearing
  
• Enabled e10s by default, some add-ons that aren’t marked as compatible may cause unexpected behaviour.
  
• Cookie Prompt has been re-implemented
  
• Fix *BSD compilation; white space issues
  
  
  
• Compatibility with older add-ons is being brought back in the next few releases. A few listed add-ons that won’t currently work:
  • LiveClick
    
  • Color That Site
    
  • Add Bookmark Here
    
  • Pure URL
    
  • Mozilla Archive Form

So, it appears Waterfox might come to an end (maybe in 1 year). Hope it is good.

But for me, I have already switched back to Firefox since Quantum was released. Missing a few addons, but the speed makes up for it.
