Mozilla doesn't seem to have communicated the issue well. I could imagine a lot of unsavvy users have tried some wild things in an attempt to fix the problem, and maybe made a mess in the process. Doesn't Mozilla have a mechanism for blasting out a message to all Firefox browsers? Also I have a Firefox account, why haven't I been inboxed about this?

Otherwise I'm not bothered. I won't be switching as long as this gets resolved within the next few days.

the only extension that failed in a waterfox is tampermonkey which stopped working but did not get removed the way it did in a firefox.

as for a system to push messages to firefox users, is there anything like this in place? a standard? if so could it notify waterfox or icecat etc users at the same time as firefox users?

if there is no specification for this, is there a similar floss project that could be forked and molded into that of which we’re in need?
