I know some add-ons will never be updated to WE and that’s where WF is valorised a second time when it’s roadmap is to offer add-ons’ management even starting version 57.Īlso, some add-ons are really far more worthy as an add-on than as a Webextension. I run Webextensions and (legacy) add-ons among the add-ons mainly those which have no WE equivalency or a lesser quality equivalency. Waterfox is now my default browser, it’s version 55.2 as previous 55.1 corresponds to FF 55.3 + latest FF 56 security updates until WF 56 is released.
It took me two days because I like to take my time when installing in order to know what I’m doing and do what I want. I installed all of my 65-70 add-ons one after another whilst dealing with new settings, those of FF55/WF55.
The install of WF 55.1 was flawless except that it didn’t migrate my FF profile which happened to be a good thing for me because I had to deal with two points: 1- Move directly from FF 52 (ESR) to a FF 55 built browser (WF 55.1) and 2- understand the differences between FF and WF. I had switched from Firefox ESR 52 to Waterfox 55.1 because I was aiming to move away from ESR one way or another and because Waterfox 55.1 installed a user’s own profile independently of that of Firefox (WF 55.2 continues that, it hasn’t initiated it).
