My list of customizations I had made to Firefox through TabMix Plusįlashback November 2017 and Firefox 57 is released. Long and short of it, I was able to customize my browser to a high degree, very easily, and I was a happy web surfer. It even had a session manager before Firefox introduced one natively. This allowed end users to customize all sorts of things, from what the middle mouse click does when you click on a link, to what what menus you see when right clicking on a tab, to making unread tabs have a different color/font, to what happens when you double click an existing tab (reload it!). I came across a great browser extension for Firefox called Tab Mix Plus. The other browsers at the time just didn’t afford any of that. I was all about customizing my experience, optimizing my interface for my preferences. This was before 2008 so Chrome wasn’t around yet, and I couldn’t stand using Internet Explorer. Back then, Firefox was clearly the best browser in my eyes. UGHĪbout 2004-2005ish I really got deep into the web, loading lots of pages at once (it was really good for taking in lots of information, and I spent a lot of time reviewing edits in wikipedia and posting a few of my own), and stumbled across the common problems of performance, and managing my tabs. In my youth, if you wanted to leave this page open and look at a different page, it required you to launch the application again. Those of you in the younger generation might not realize how amazing it is to have tabbed browsing. I realize now that it wasn’t a forced upgrade, but due to the Expired certificate broke all firefox add-ons.

I had thought my time was up and I was finally forced to upgrade. I knew I was running on borrowed time for a while now. I have a confession to make: Up until last week, I had been running Firefox 56 (a 2 year old browser version) because of a browser extension I couldn’t live without: Tab Mix PlusĪ number of extensions in Firefox stopped working and at that time there was no clear way to make them start up again.
