So I am using Firefox but with the version 57 lots of my plugins will stop working and I am kinda frustrated about that. Some maybe be updated but some are not even possible to be updated + I hate tabs on TOP :><:

(RANT: Why the heck Tabs are on TOP!!! WHO THE HECK DESIGNED THIS!!!WHY IT BECOME A TREND!!! IS A @#$@$#$% WAIST OF TIME!!!
Tabs must be below bookmark toolbar !!!)

Anyway back on my topic!

So I have some choices:

1. Waterfox said that they will support legacy plugins and patch waterfox with the latest security patches of firefox
2. Change Browser and get used to Tabs on TOP (any suggestions)
3. Use Palemoon or any other older fork version of Firefox

So whats your opinion about this and what browser are you using? :|

Personally I prefer SeaMonkey. Basically it's Mozilla Suite pre firefox and thunderbird split up.

I've used it prior to this whole extension issue and in my opinion it does it's job well.

I've been using Chromium, simply because it's so much faster than Firefox. With the new release, I'm tempted to try Firefox again (because Chrome does have RAM issues, and it would be nice to be a bit separate from Google). I'm not huge on extensions - PrivacyBadger and LastPass both look like they have new FF versions, and it should be dead easy to find User Agent switchers & Javascript blockers. It would be nice to support a FOSS browser again.

I have recently tried Midori and Brave, both nice but too early in development and feel a lack features. I like Chromium but feel Google's tentacles everywhere and Opera isn't my cup of tea. Some of the Firefox forks work well too but somehow always end up with Firefox. Just installed the Quantum version and so far so good.

I agree with you @Arehandoro. firefox quantum is phenomenal.

I used Firefox before but it became too cumbersome and leaving a video paused in a tab , and the tab open too long , would crash the whole browser.
I switched to Chromium for the time being.
I use relatively few plugins though.
1. For adds
2. For scripts
3. For managing open tabs

I also looked at Vivaldi and QupZilla and found both interesting but have not used either for too long.

There are ways to keep your tabs at the bottom with Firefox (up to 56 at least; haven't seen Quantum yet, eagerly waiting for it to drop on Mint): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1106927

I've been using the Tabs on Bottom addon and although it is now obsolete, the effect remains. I believe it works by editing the browser.uiCustomization.state config option.

I believe Firefox ESR still supports most plugins. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/

Is there a repository that has a maintained package of GNU IceCat? The only official way to install it is to compile it yourself but I like to have all of my software updated through a package manager without having to go and recompile individual various programs.

I've been running the new Firefox for a day or so, and it seems to work pretty well. The better performance and other very welcome improvements are definitely worth the plugin breakage.
