FF has been steadily implementing this over the last couple of weeks.
First, the add-ons were identified as Legacy and wouldn't work; however, a work-around solution (restart in Safe Mode, exit, restart normally) restored them to working. Then, the work-around wouldn't work anymore. A couple of days after that, the Legacy add-ons weren't even listed anymore -- and any attempt to reinstall them was met with a message that the add-on was incompatible and would not be installed.Same here. Now I can't get to my logins and passwords without going to Safe Mode and a couple of my popular add-ons are not working either. While investigating the latter problem, I came across these articles on how Firefox was going to bomb its own browser in a couple of weeks.

My gosh, all these browser problems, lol.
So, which browser do my fellow FReepers recommend for privacy, speed, results, etc?? :-)

Get Waterfox! I just downloaded it and am using it now.
It's based off the same open source as FF but superior in every way. It loads and runs much more quickly, the memory bloat is much less, and it still supports all your favorite add-ons. (For me, NoScript and Fluff Busting Purity are essential.) Menus and functionality are almost exactly the same as FF, so there is no dramatic learning curve.
