Firefox has updated to version 57, also known as "Quantum". Apparently everything's changed, and about half of my addons are either gone or no longer work. Therational behind this is that there's a "budding addon standard" which is all very good, but half the reason I've stayed with Firefox was the useful addons. Of course most - in time - will be updated but it's just plain annoying.
A while back Thunderbird was updated and unlike their usual updates, it automatically added a mandatory calendar addon with the update. I almost left using Thunderbird at that point, but the alternatives I was perpared to entertain - Evolution, Claws, and The Bat, all had issues. Instead I removed the addon and continued to use Google Calendar instead.
I've been tempted to swap to Opera again, but I'll wait and see just which addons get updated soon. In the meantime, the Firefox version on my other two PCs will be staying at version 56, until I get that sorted. Most of the web browsers of late are looking a lot more like Chrome. I'm yet to determine if that's a good thing or not.
