I won't use the word sabotage, but for me, firefox took a running swan 
dive into the deep end of the pool at the 51-52 transition and forgot 
how to swim, no longer playing the MSM's news videos with any regularity 
for me.

I am trying to be, but I'm not PC enough to ignore whats taken place in 
the firefox releases for Linux of late. firefox I understand has new 
parents, and apparently seem to be concentrating on the windows users. 
If they break firefox for OSS, it seems to be a shrug to them. If they 
cared, it would get fixed. The net result is that I now use palemoon as 
my default browser.
