Not a question... A comment.

I, for one, am getting tired of having plugins that I use A LOT and depend on, suddenly disabled every few days when Firefox updates itself. Maybe YOU think that's "progress"...When I keep adding substitute add-ons to replace ones that suddenly don't work, and then a few days later those get disabled too, it makes me wonder if Firefox is a good long-term browser choice. If I were a plugin developer I would be ticked-off beyond belief, and after awhile I'd probably stop developing for Firefox.

Congratulations on a path that will surely make you obsolete sooner rather than later.

1) The attitude doesn't help anything

2) The best place for feedback is http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/

3) What plugin is being disabled?

The list of plugins (which is rather long) was submitted with the crash report.

My attitude is based on the reality of the frustration of the plugins I use the most being continually disabled by the never-ending parade of upgrades. It is what it is.
