Well, Firefox forced my hand by upgrading even though I had "Never check for updates" checked. So I now have Firefox ESR installed. Continue reading post "#1675"

The recent release of Firefox 57 is pretty nice in many ways, but the loss of certain extensions is probably going to keep my primary browser from upgrading until they're updated or suitable replacements are found.
