So now I'm gonna have to waste a couple of days building a new version of puppy linux for my dad, most likely with palemoon, most likely without all the addons he had grown accustomed to, most likely causing him headaches with the image processing issue too, because some nigger at Mozilla decided to break every single pre-45 version just because.
Seriously. Fuck mozilla. They've given me nothing but headaches this year, and I don't even use their shit anymore. What ever fucking happened to backwards compatibility, and why would they fucking unsign pre-45 shit on pre-45 versions? Fucking hell.

Yes, FireFox has gone to shit.

I mean, yeah, it has, but you're falling short.
Firefox has gone to shit because Mozilla has gone to shit. They stopped caring about shipping a powerful, heavily customizable product. They want the Chrome market, and by pursuing that, they've pissed all over their long-time power users.

Tried frisbee yet?
Menu > Setup > Internet Connection Wizard > Wired or Wireless LAN > Frisbee
I'm running a cheap $10 wifi stick, and it's running just fine.
