I do not get why ppl are so obsessed about this legacy extensions, by now there is almost a extension for everything and I do not need that much consolidation of the UI.

Tab mix plus is basically now a light extension that just points you to about:config setting that are more then enough for me. The most important setting for me is to open all popups in tabs.

Also Mozilla has deprecated that old APIs for security purposes! Maintaining it with a small team of volunteers or some little donations is not gonna cut it. I am not "Anti" everything its just that I do not see the point of this AT ALL.

// Ok its not even a team its a one man project, makes it even worse. And isn't ESR now also build on a version without the old APIs? If not already that day will come and especially then the using it will be a big security risk.
