Fisher Mann lastpass is working perfectly here. on another note at one time and for a very long ff had the lions share of the browser market. they killed themselves by shoving australia down peoples throats.

Agreed.

Instead of fixing the few issues that existed , Mozilla went on an insane rampage, adding useless fluff and breaking stuff (just like MS and the W8 Series).

These type of disasters occur when you let marketers design your software.

As far as I am concerned this is the best thing Firefox has come out with it rocks.

Thanks Edwin, good stuff.

If you would rather use the older style 'Preferences' Menu in FF 57:

... in about:config look for browser.preferences.useOldOrganization and toggle it's value to True

Also:

if you're not in the habit of enduring a heavy browser session, you could lower browser.sessionhistory.max_entries to a value of 10 in about:config

And finally...

with a simple CSS Style Sheet you can create "Powerline Firefox", minimal UI.
(shaves a couple milliseconds off the UI load time!)

(and, it looks cool!!!) :)
