I did not migrate anything from Firefox to Waterfox, but opted to keep everything separate, and set up Waterfox from scratch, and hopefully will be able to install what I want, where I want.

#WATERFOX PROFILE LOCATION UPDATE#

The latest FF update is ugly and spartan, and seems to have limited customization to a very narrow view of function and appearance.

As it was, so many add-ons had become legacy/non-working with FF57. Alex (thank you, thank you, thank you) can keep it up, and are very curious what the future might bring…Ĭan someone, somewhere, advise how in Waterfox 55.2.2 (64-bit) to have tabs ON BOTTOM (instead of the default “on top” position)? Waterfox is a new install for me, as I am fed up with the changes that the Firefox update has done.

Pocket, screenprint, e10s), data reporting, and health report code rubbish, or for example remove “obligated WebRTC H264 codec plugins”, but that is not even needed.įor us it works like a dream, gels in flawlessly with our other software and workflow, and helps us to focus on the job to be done in stead of fiddling with a “runaway” browser.

If you know what you’re doing you can go through your prefs.js and remove the old (force fed) Firefox extensions (e.g. What did work perfectly though is to install Waterfox, boot it so the profile directory is created, close it again, and copy everything from your Firefox profile dir to your Waterfox directory. We did notice that the “Import from Firefox” option isn’t flawless. The Waterfox boxen are absolutely fine, and install went like a dream. We here moved our production boxen to Waterfox 55.2.2, and left one stand alone to follow the Firefox (addon) development (now at 57). Nopt one problem but again I’ve installed it from scratch which seems to me far preferable than using the migration tool (given it’s made available during the install which was not my case.

So, Waterfox here, running smooth and fast, free of Firefox’s telemetry, opened to legacy add-ons, brilliantly crafted IMO. The insanity not of Webextensions but of Mozilla which decides that some of its pages will not be concerned by Webextensions, as if a judge decided that law would not concern himself given his status!. uBO-WE cannot Ģ- It remains active on those Mozilla pages which are immune to extensions : AMo of course but also all the Web pages I view in ‘Reader Mode’ : how odd that the source page is supervised by uBO but not that page viewed in Reader Mode because Reader Mode is a Mozilla protected format (no extension works on it!!!). For the time being uBO-legacy has several advantages over ubO-Webextension:ġ- It can control other extensions connections. I have in mind uBlock Origin which is still developed in both formats (I believe the developer has in mind FF ESR users but of course this parallel development of two formats won’t last forever). 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).
