    Yeah, the lack of extensions/add-ons for FF has always been what’s kept me from switching permanently. Hopefully more users on FF will mean more devs working on the add-ons. Losing chrome/chromium browsers is a major bummer

    At least we saw it coming I guess

      Do people really think there’s not a lot of extensions for firefox? I’ve had no trouble finding tools that do even obscure things I need them to

        Sorry, I could’ve been clearer there. I wasn’t saying there were few add-ons. What I mean is there are extensions on chrome that aren’t on FF. I’ve looked for a specific type of add-on many times and not found it. I’m pretty dependent on some powerful extensions so it’s always been something holding me back from switching to FF. I even started using edge at work since it was faster than chrome but I could still use my fav extensions
