What's /g/'s plan for when Firefox switches over to WebExtensions and irreparably breaks the functionality of half its add-ons?

Microsoft Internet Explorer obviously.

>breaks the functionality of half its add-ons
There's no problem because pretty much every relevant addon will work.
The broken ones are just pieces of outdated shit anyway.
Also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-tabs/

>>60140308
Already switched to chromium.

To not update?
Only thing that would fuck me over is a new image format.
Really that's the only thing that will fuck you over by not updating.
Unless you visit dodgy sites all the fucking time.
Even then, thoes are the ones offering movie/game downloads, hacks and porn. You're not retarded are you?

>>60140399
That's not a solution. The entire problem in the first place is that SJWzilla are trying to copy Chrome/Chromium's inferior add-on API so that Firefox's add-on API will be compatible with Chrome's.

>>60140418
Only a solution until early 2018, then ESR will be based on version 59.

>>60140434
Even if that weren't a horrible idea in terms of security, it's not a permanent solution.

addons devs will sooner or later catch up

Again. Stop visiting dodgy sites you halfwit.
17 years on the internet myself and not a fucking problem until then.
Boy howdy newfags are fucking braindead.

>>60140308
Don't use FF as a daily browser. But even then, I don't use any extensions that don't already have a webextension alternative or work with chromestorefoxified.

Most viruses don't advertise their presence on your computer with flashing pop-up windows saying "I'M A VIRUS!" in big, bold text, you know.

You're on /g/ not /v/.

>>60140610
I know that, but do you?

You act like it's always possible to know when your system is infected, when in reality that's not the case. All you can do is employ safe practices (keeping your software up to date being a major one) and hope for the best.
