I don't know if you remember me or not but we had a long thread some
time ago about setting the UserAgent string in Firefox.
I have been using FF 52.9 ESR for a long time now, and thought I
would be forever. Unfortunately, even by spoofing the UserAgent, I am finding more and more things for which I have to resort to Chrome.
Therefore, I am strongly considering biting the bullet and installing
the latest version of Firefox.
Since I greatly respect your opinions, I was wondering if you would
be able to take the time to help me with configuring it, by sharing
your knowledge, and the settings you use to take the "rough edges" off
the "improved" Firefox? I know a lot of things have actually been
improved over the older versions, but there are some things that I
would really find hard to live without, The controlling of the
behavior of tabs by Tab Mix Plus being the primary one.
So, I would greatly appreciate any and all "About:Config" or
"user.js" tricks that you might have acquired along the way, that
would make the new version of FF look and act as much like 52.9 ESR
with Tab Mix Plus, PrefBar and Classic Theme Restorer as possible.

This Newsgroup was practically orphaned by Mozilla before Easter this
year and not many people still look at it.
Have you considered Waterfox or Palemoon? Both are FF forks driven by people who disliked the way FF was going, I believe they also get
security updates. Look for them with the search engine of your choice
(or look for Mayayana the same way).

Firefox *UseNet* group which is probably alt.comp.software.firefox, I
think. ;-)
A lot of the FF regulars have probably migrated there.
I did just that, but posted here also "just in case".
No response from him yet.
Jetjock,
I did just that, but posted here also "just in case".
No response from him yet.
I've seen him post in the below newsgroups :
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
comp.mobile.android
alt.windows7.general
alt.comp.os.windows-10

I'm surprised that this group is still even working since it was
supposed to have been shut down.

I sympathize. Every once in a while I make similar errors. It's like
the fingers have a mind of their own which is different from the real
