Well that sucks Overnight, they moved Cookie Controller to Legacy Extensions. It's a much more sophisticated cookie manager that Firefox's default.

There seems to be two options if you want something that works like Mozilla used to and is still being maintained. https://www.waterfoxproject.org - which will sunset in Q1 2019 Firefox ESR - which will be maintained through Q2 2018. The warning with this option is "Moving to Firefox 52 ESR after installing Firefox 55/56 might break your browser profile." More info on that here https://github.com/Aris-t2/Cla...eRestorer/issues/299 I've tried both options. Reverting to Firefox 52 ESR did break my profile, but it was still usable. It can't hurt to try out Waterfox which I will probably use as my primary browser for now. | |||

Reading this subreddit has reinforced my trust in Waterfox : https://www.reddit.com/r/water...lass_mozilla_malware I don't know what Mozilla's plans are, but if I don't encounter any problems with Waterfox in a month or so, I'm removing Firefox from my systems. | |||

I've been and continue to be a Waterfox user. Current version is 56.0.1. Mr Alex, the developer, is said to be working on a whole new browser for the future.

Yes, I am learning of Mr. Alex. I had heard of Waterfox, but was never motivated to try it since I thought that its speed improvements were for Windows. It works well on mac OS. I just installed Waterfox last night, but I don't think I'll be using Firefox again, especially after learning of its privacy modifications. Again, Waterfox sunsets in Q1 2019, but at least we were warned. | |||
