Well, I use the browser and browser version that works with my beloved 
extensions. I could care less about anything else about said browser unless 
it did something truly outrageous like forcing updating or forcing 
acceptance of third party cookies, etc. Otherwise, I don't care about having 
the "latest" version. I want the version that works with my extensions.  Fx 
is its extensions. That is the only reason it exists and is as successful as 
it is today. It is nothing as a browser without all the extensions. It's 
Chrome which is the most horrible browser out there except for Safari. 
Stripped and watered down browsers are for computer ignorant users. Fx was 
to be first for power users but it has gotten badly off track since many of 
us started out with it way, way back.
