Legacy Problem
Have you noticed how some websites are no longer working with older versions of some browsers?

Two examples being:
Mega.io
drive.google. com

Not a problem if your browser is up to date.

Thing is, I use an older version of a firefox as it's impossible to use Legacy add-ons with later versions.
I use the Scrapbook X add-on.
It's essential for what I do.

Problem is if the website I use ScrapbookX for, goes down the same path as
Mega.io and drive.google.com
It will mean the end of my main hobby.

The add-on replacements do not work the same way as the Legacy version of Scrapbook X

Do you know of a way to force(?) Legacy add-ons to work in newer versions of Firefox?

All assistance/guidence appreciated.

Thanks.

RE: Legacy Problem
Answering depends upon which OS you are using ??

Even though I'm a Linux user (windows refugee...) I still use the Mypal browser in an older, preferred version.
That browser came as a windows portable and AFAIK even in its newest version uses the old style extensions.
For notes in that browser I use and vastly prefer the NoteStruck extension.

I use v27.8.3 - which may be impossible to get anymore as things have changed and all I see now is an installer starting with v 28.9.0, here:
https://mypal-browser.org/release/

Main site:
https://mypal-browser.org/

Because I despise most of the lobotomized 'modern' browsers, my main browser is Basilisk for Linux - which also has a windows version and also uses the original extensions and with that I also use the NoteStruck extension.
And also most importantly - this:

Best Wishes from a fellow legacy browser user !!

Hey there, smithnowt,
Bit late replying.
Thanks for your help with the legacy issue.
Went with basilisk.
Perfect!
Actually does better than Firefox.

Happy days, thanks to you, smithnowt 57yes
