@bonifartius Pale Moon or Basilisk? Both use the Goanna engine.
@bonifartius Yeah the extensions are really what pushed me to ditch Firefox some years back. There's also Waterfox, which comes in Current or Classic flavours depending on whether you prioritise the Quantum engine (present in Current) or the old-style extensions (present in Classic). As far as I know the two are incompatible and mutually exclusive, so a browser that has both is not possible. It's Gecko on the backend too.
@khird thanks, will take a look at the waterfoxes!
@khird i actually really liked firefox right after they introduced the quantum engine. it was a real improvement. the browser itself has only gotten worse from then on. the biggest problem was the new plugin stuff. the rewritte tree style tabs loses tabs.. the plugin author isn't even to blame, they ported it really fast. the new plugin api is just shit.
i just don't really unterstand why the current gecko engine can't be made embeddable like chromes blink. that would really help the web.
