Your Firefox extensions are all disabled? That's a bug!

And when another browser has a similar, or any problem, the same will be said of them. Life is not perfect.

Absolutely, TC. Firefox was out of commission, extension wise, for a little over 48 hours and from the negative comments I've seen, you'd think Mozilla did this on purpose! They didn't. As far as I can see, it was simply human error. Stuff happens!

Instead of saying it's Microsoft's fault, the Mozilla Team went to work to find the root cause; they worked all night and all the next day. When it was announced the team needed some downtime, there were complaints! Unbelievable! In the end, in little more than 48 hours the Mozilla teams fixed the problems.

What this "outage" did for me was to make me appreciate what I have with Firefox, and quite frankly, I'm even less inclined to change browsers than I would have been before. I don't have to see ads; I I have uBlock Origin. I don't have to worry about security because I have HTTPS Everywhere. No Miners keeps the nasties from mining my information. Yep, other Browsers have this too, but are they as easy to use as Firefox? Not for me.

I see the glass as half full (because I already drank the first half) instead of half empty!

They might even give MS Edge Dev a boost!

I don't think so! I try Edge a bit with each new Build, and so far, it can't match the performance of Firefox. It's just a fact that Microsoft can't easily get around.

Curiously, my extensions were restored about 12 hours after they were disabled.

From everything I've read, there were about as many different problems/solutions as there are folks using Firefox! I was on 66.03 when the problem was first discovered, but everything was working as it should . . . that is, until I saw a link to 66.04 early on. I'm not sure if someone jumped the gun with the link release, or if someone leaked the link. Regardless, I got it and it broke my extensions!

I reinstalled HTTPS Everywhere and everything was fine again. I've now stopped Studies and everything remains fine.

Windows Hello FIDO2 certification gets you closer to passwordless

And . . . guess which Browser is first to support FIDO2? Yehhhhhhhhh, Firefox!

Pretty interesting article, but I'm the world's worst to lose things! I'd probably have to buy 15 of 'em just to be able to find at least one!

They have NOT fixed my extensions. Extensions are the reason I used FF. Reverting back to Google Chrome.
