I know a whole 3 clicks extra but if you do it on 100 websites a day, it tends to add up very fast. Being able to click once for a task rather than click, click, click was a time saver. Thanx a rollback did fix it for me but I doubt for long as both will continue to update to this awful new format.Īs to your question about the completeness I don't think it is any less complete just a LOT less convenient. Another user rolled back to an unspecified older version and did get the toolbar back, but I don't know which one it was. I'm not sure if you can roll back the change from toolbar to button/menu simply by switching to Firefox 52 ESR. The Extended Support Release of Firefox 52 will continue to run old-style extensions and get security updates through next June. The last regular release of Firefox that will support old-style extensions is Firefox 56, so that doesn't take you very far. But is the drop-menu less complete than the old horizontal toolbar? Obviously it's an extra step to access a drop-down menu than to click a displayed button on a bar. IMO, Mozilla is looking for parity with Google Chrome, ''(no longer a trail browser with Firefox as it once was, now a copy cat or mimic of what more popular have done - meeting the lower standards of what users want or expect)'' to make it easier for developers to create one extension for most all browsers, with little additional work to adapt it to each specific browser brand So we will need to get used to Firefox not being as extensible as it has been. WebExtensions just aren't as powerful as the traditional Firefox extensions have been. Smacks of the New Coke debacle back in April 1985, which was discontinued in 1992. I plan on waiting until after Firefox 60 comes out before I waste much time trying to config the "new" Firefox to my liking. So I am still using an old ESR 38 version for my "heavy lifting" from before the "signing" thing started my extensions dropping like flies. Overall, as a 15 year user from the days of Phoenix 0.3, I am not happy with what I see and have been seeing for quite awhile now. It's possible that the new API's may not be complete yet and more features may be added down the road and user requests made in the proper place, with the attitude, might restore some what might be lost or add new stuff later on.

I can't comment specifically about Roboform, haven't used it for many years now.
