Hope good.  :) \r\n\r\nI'm one your users and so I would like to know if you have any back-up plans once this hits a stable version of Firefox by next year sometime?     \r\n\r\nI only have one solution to offer up that may be feasible, and that is to switch your development to the Pale Moon project. I hear they will continue support for XPCOM and XUL for add-on developers that use this source code to build their powerful extensions that we all have come to love and rely on. See here: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=8756 (couldn't find the exact line, but if you read the beginning and on, he's clearly against it) and to know more about how to support Pale Moon/Goanna (a modified rendering engine to fit their specific needs as an independent browser) properly: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=9077.\r\n \r\nNow I have both Firefox (ESR v38.4) and Pale Moon (v25.7.3) installed and I love them both, but I don't agree with the direction Mozilla going with Firefox anymore. So once add-on signing is forced upon me and deprecation of XPCOM/XUL extensions lands in Firefox by next year sometime, I will put a stop to Firefox updates or fully switch over to Pale Moon and uninstall Firefox in which you will have lost a user and many more to come.\r\n\r\nThis right here is straight up the hard truth and I have heard of many other developers planning the switch to Pale Moon once this hits Firefox. Two quick examples of this can be found here: http://imagehost-grabber.org/index.php?topic=3479.0 and here: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2015/08/21/the-future-of-developing-firefox-add-ons/comment-page-4/#comment-219018. But we'll see by next year to come. \r\n\r\nSo in all best regards,\r\nVeronicaGarcia  :)    \r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hultmann/multifox/issues/comments/154905673","html_url":"https://github.com/hultmann/multifox/issues/232#issuecomment-154905673","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hultmann/multifox/issues/232","id":154905673,"user":{"login":"VeronicaGarcia","id":14831252,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/14831252?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/VeronicaGarcia","html_url":"https://github.com/VeronicaGarcia","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/VeronicaGarcia/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/VeronicaGarcia/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/VeronicaGarcia/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/VeronicaGarcia/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/VeronicaGarcia/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/VeronicaGarcia/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/VeronicaGarcia/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/VeronicaGarcia/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/VeronicaGarcia/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-09T02:45:46Z","updated_at":"2015-11-09T02:45:46Z","body":"Your welcome.
