Firefox 52 has blown it

agreed to an extent but if they had removed it there would have been a mass exodus of users given the number of sites which are still in the dark ages

Dunno, more and more sites and people are against flash because its such a pain.

I'm on a single core machine at present and every time a flash advert pops up on a website my CPU hits 100% and stays there. It had a time and a place and those are long out of sight now.

The links on the Plusnet page Oldjim refers to and 'in-browser' PDFs both work as before for me in Firefox 52 (32-bit). The insecure password nag is rather a pain, though, as it appears every time I login to my router's admin functions.

I shall install Firefox 52 as soon as it becomes available on my platform.

Yet another nail in the Java coffin.
Hopefully, java programmers will shuffle off elsewhere, not before time....

This is what you see using FF 52 when visiting an non HTTPS site using forms.

I've now found out how to completely disable that warning, by setting signon.autofillForms.http to 'true' in Firefox's about:config page - see here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/5y9fm6/firefox_52_autocomplete_now_shows_insecure/

Also, if you want to re-enable all the plug-ins that are automatically disabled in Firefox 52, see here:

Obviously, you do either or both of these at your own risk!

EDIT - I have subsequently found that re-enabling the blocked plug-ins seems to create some issues when visiting secure sites, so perhaps not a good idea after all.

I'm running Waterfox, currently V51.0.1 (64-bit).

It will be interesting to see what flavour of V52 I and other Waterfox users get.

@Strat - I was thinking that, too. Might have to do a bit of tweaking, but for what I do, hopefully not much.

Doesn't work at all for me.  None of the links expand.  Had to switch to IE11.

FF52 works perfectly as provided - no parameter mangling needed.

Works for https and http sites.
