Thanks. Do you know of a way to check that? For some reason, my old FF was 32 bit. I know I’d tried to install the 64 bit version but for some reason, the 32 bit was always the one that ran.

Anyone getting green and purple when trying to watch videos. Also has a 3D effect. It is faster.

Please tell me what extensions for HTML for use in FR. THis would save me a lot of time. Thanks in advance.

BBCodeXtra 0.5.4

But it won't work in the new FireFox 57, only FF 56 and earlier

The way you worded that title makes no sense.

Ok I added it to Palemoon which in all regards is the same as FF. I was able to install the extension and it is active but typing this I do not see a pop up of HTML markings or anything. How does it work?

[Elderberry]

I haven't tried BBCodeXtra 0.5.4, so I can't help you on that.

What I do use is Cynwoody's "Free Republic Posting Form Enhancer" , for several years now, and I like it A Lot

It’s cut and paste from the article.

Been using FF for years. Love it. But this new version won’t remember custom text size settings for Free Republic

...

It seems to work for other websites, but not FR. I wonder what’s different about FR.

You too, huh?

I don't know about anyone else, but for some reason, my version of Firefox 56 refused to load any web pages after some point earlier today. I checked to see if a software install of any kind had been performed in the last 24 hours (there hasn't).

I even rebooted my PC to see if that would help. Nope. I would open up Firefox, and I ended up with a blank browser with the navigation and menu bars at the top. Clicking on any of several hundred bookmarks did nothing. I couldn't even open up Yahoo's main page.

Figuring this was a sign, I just installed Firefox 52.5 ESR. I assumed it would be like installing a new browser, but even with the version "downgrade", it keep my current settings, including cookies (was still logged into FR). I guess this buys me more time until the 52 ESR support ends late in June 2018.
