Re: That's what you get for trying to be a google clone
(yes, I know various security / performance arguments for it)
Not really. The real argument was "baaaaaaaaaw maintaining this codebase is HARD!"
but a lot of the plugins
Waterfox or pale moon will both be happy to run all your old plugins. I can't recommend waterfox highly enough, it will even find and import all your firefox settings/plugins/etc when you install it. Most seamless software replacement I've ever done.
