I tend to feel the same way. Although I do not mind the actual Firefox browser, most of the extensions that worked well in the older version do not work in Quantum, and the fact is, if I hadn’t needed those, they wouldn’t have been installed.
Newer plugins do not do the job I need them to do, and I don’t like the way most of them work (actually from my point of view they don’t work right - when I right click something, I want it to translate the page without loading some other box, just translate the dang page on my screen, and haven’t found one that does that. I might just well tab up Google translate’s page in a new tab as install a plugin that does it awkwardly).
And yeah, I do know Firefox isn’t Chrome but the functionality I want in plugins is not smooth, and seems very awkward now as compared to the older Firefox.
Wish I’d never installed the updates. I don’t want a developer version either. Is an old version still available anywhere?
Unfortunately I am rather stuck with it since Chrome will no longer work on my computer either.
Sometimes progress is a great thing, but not always. It would have been better if the legacy extensions could have been made to work or an update made to make them compatible.
Sounds like a complaint I guess but really, I just want to be able to download a pre “lose everything” version if I can to replace Quantum so I can go back to using my old plugins.
