This Newsgroup was practically orphaned by Mozilla before Easter this
year and not many people still look at it.
Have you considered Waterfox or Palemoon? Both are FF forks driven by
people who disliked the way FF was going, I believe they also get
security updates. Look for them with the search engine of your choice
(or look for Mayayana the same way).

Alternatively, Jetjock, you could try asking your question in the new
Firefox *UseNet* group which is probably alt.comp.software.firefox, I
think. ;-)

A lot of the FF regulars have probably migrated there.

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
comp.mobile.android
alt.windows7.general
alt.comp.os.windows-10

I too am surprised, as I get it from the news.mozilla.com server, which
I'd have expected to have been turned off some time ago.

(You'll find Mayayana in alt.windows7.general, alt.comp.os.windows-10,
and possibly microsoft.public.windowsxp.general, possibly even
microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion [and maybe the '11 'group too].)

I still use Firefox 52 for several sites. I have a profile that is used,
most of the time, with javascript disabled; it has a "permanent" window
just for Twitter, and another one just for Facebook (even though i keep
these windows, i use them little... i kind of isolated it); a profile
for everything that needs javascript to work, and does not make FF52
crash (crashing is rare). I have a few extensions installed in both
profiles. A special one is one to turn on/off js with a button on addres
bar. For things that do not work well in this Firefox, i have been very
happy using Vivaldi browser. One big focus of it is in privacy. Another
one is the hability to configure the most we can think of. It is based
on Chromium, as you probably know, i guess. So, every Chrome extension
can be set up in it too.

I sympathize. Every once in a while I make similar errors. It's like
the fingers have a mind of their own which is different from the real
one. It's HARD to leave an error uncorrected...
