Dear community! According to this AskUbuntu question (https://askubuntu.com/q/977138/66509) - the problem is critically actual. We have 550 views of this question for 2 hours.
Please make official ESR package and put it alongside bleeding-edge version. New shiny Firefox disables many LEGACY extensions (see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TFcEXMcKrwoIAECIVyBU0GPoSmRqZ7A0VBvqeKYVSww/htmlview# ). Users and developers need time for the switch. They can't repair car while driving it. With best regards, Norbert.
