Because backwards compatibility = feature stagnation. Fuck what the user wants, fuck what works best for the user! How can (((we))) justify staying employed if we don't break old stuff in order to make new stuff?
The Firefucks devs could support a given ESR version for say 20 years if they wanted: that would mean many years of security updates, bugfixes, media codec updates and the necessary rebuilds for new operating systems and architectures -- the user would have a rock solid browser that never breaks.
But they won't, why? Because it's boring work and fuck the user! Now lemme add a screenshot button! That uploads the screenshot to (((us))) instead of keeping it strictly local.

Most of the "Find a Replacement" links go to their shitty Mozilla addon collection, which means they have no suggestion. They appear to have created a database of replacements by hand.
The new CSD is pretty good but I'm fucking enraged that my tab rice (CTR and Stylish) is dead, dead, after years and years of quality destap threads. The old adage "if you have to ask what browser it is, it's Firefox," is no longer true.

They break the "legacy shit" because they can, because they want to, because they don't care about the user. If backward compatibility is a goal for devs, then it is achieved, it's as simple as that. Modern Windows can still run 20 year old "legacy shit"... as it was compiled 20 years ago... on 20 year old hardware... faggot.

So it's faster than, say, version 20? It definitely isn't faster - or more lightweight - than 3.6, but that one didn't have the absolutely crucial features for displaying hypertext documents like HTML5, mediasources, WebRTC, clouds and Satan knows what else.

Stylo did not affect legacy add-ons. Quantum Flow probably did, but afaict the impact was quite managable, since not many add-ons really died up until 56, which already got most of the QF work (most weren't affected or got updated). Quantum Compositor also didn't really affect add-ons (not many work on such a low level). WebRender is probably too low-level too. The only Quantum project that I can think of that might have had a pretty large impact, is Photon. And since add-ons managed to survive Australis pretty well, why not this change too?
inb4 "But a lot of add-ons broke in 57 Nightly!": yea, that's because Mozilla was ripping out and refactoring old code, which isn't really related to Quantum, but more to the removal of legacy add-ons itself.
▶ No.808289>>808290 >>808295

>XUL fags
No. I don't care how the add-ons (or extensions, or whatever you want to call them) are written. And I can even understand not wanting to provide some API or even maybe some form of sandboxing for legacy addons. But this doesn't excuse moving buttons, making UI gayer in general just to appeal to the lowest common denominator, more telemetry, more adspace monetization, more bloat no one asked for in general. They could just make what would've been essentially a fork, add all the bells and whistles they desire while dropping all that horrible old stuff but either implement the largest/most complex among the most used add-on functionality as configurable options or rewrite the largest/most complex among the most used add-ons themselves. And then call it a fucking milestone and eventually release it as version 100500 or whatever their AIDS-ridden marketing department deems necessary.
Instead we have bloatfox that neither has the main distinguishing feature any longer nor is actually faster, smaller or easier to use. And forks are developing in the same direction, including palememe. I'd rather use fucking dillo at this point.

I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation).

Servo would have been the perfect opportunity for a new start. Just keep making security updates for classic FF and everything would be fine, but they want to enforce new "web improvements" on us to force everyone on this worse-than-proprietary-platform so they make feature updates inseparable from security updates, like MS and Google. I think I'll just stick with 52esr, 99% of exploits require js anyway, which I have disabled.
