"whitelist" was a nice feature. using NoScript "whitelist" and considering
asking them to add a sort by date column and a "blacklist".

firefox used to be a proficient and worthily web browser until chrome
web browser came about.

then firefox d.a. devs felt they had to be an "us too" browser and
screwed up the whole concept that firefox had enjoyed for many years.

now that they have started the "signed" add-on crap, i am giving much
thought to check out the "clones" and be done with the "clowns".
