Seems like the real story is that Microsoft is following the trend of Firefox and removing features from its browser, removing options that users used to have, because some users are too stupid to figure out how to use them properly.
If you want to punish everyone because the minority can’t help themselves from clicking every link they see, fine, but don’t tell me that it’s an upgrade.
Hence why I have to revert to Internet Explorer. Edge out of the gate hardly worked as an explorer replacement, and now it is crippled. Wiser would have been to disable these features so that those who know what they are doing could enable them.

But most of the Firefox extensions work, and if not (like Menu Editor) try Disable Add-on Compatibility Checks :: Add-ons for Firefox
