by OpenRoad, 8 years agoWhy the change? I can't say it any better or clearer then the person that wrote the below comment.
I Quote this again because I'm betting there are many that feel the same way.
=======
"To say that the 3.0 update sucks is far too kind. This is a travesty. Blaming WebExtensions is easy, but the developer has had ages to come up with something better than this - how did we end up with this feature-less, control-less, information-deprived, hideous, buggy piece of garbage? Amongst other problems listed here en masse, the options don't even stick!
Obviously nobody should upgrade to this version and if you did, then you should go to the "all versions" section and downgrade right away. Then disable auto-plugin-updating and stick with Firefox 56.0.2 for the foreseeable future.
What's really sad is that Adblock Plus is why people use Firefox. With this ugly train wreck of a release, Firefox is going to die. The worst thing is that the developer couldn't see forward into the future and move over to a better browser project like Pale Moon. If he'd done that, Firefox would have went to its grave and Pale Moon would have become the next great Mozilla-esque project. Bad decisions will leave both browsers as inconsequential remnants from the past.
All good things....

I can't help but really wonder what is in store for the future of what was one of the greatest browsers.

Garbage

posted 2 days agoWe are using a new strategy to handle YouTube's anti-ad blocking warning. When we detect YouTube's notification, we will automatically pause Adblock Plus so you can continue watching without disruption. The pause is temporary so if you leave YouTube and return later, it will remain unpaused until the warning is detected again. We believe YouTube will only attempt to show you the wall for a day or two and then we can go back to blocking ads as normal.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19009764, 10 days ago
