Exactly, the new Firefox throws away anything that made it good, FF Quantum has turned it into yet another featureless, garbage Chrome clone.

Thanks for breaking the main page again by the way GOG, how you keep breaking shit after it was semi fixed I'll never know.

Well, sacrificing usability, and usefulness, for something that looks pretty and seems like a good idea to management is the order of the day, isn't it?

I use Vivaldi 2.2 and I don't have any issues.

I don't know, I used to have 10-15 extensions all the time, but last ~5 years I get AdBlock, dictionaries for spellcheck for the languages I write in often, and that's probably all. Checking the true state: "dark breeze" (theme to make it look like my desktop), "HTML validator" and "Nuke anything" (oh, that one *is* essential, like AdBlock). Everything else somehow evaporated from my sight, not remembering what they were (one of the coloured tabs was must-have before for me, but now I'm somehow not truly missing it, maybe it's the dark theme, which looks so good to me (easy on eyes), that I even give up the colours I used to identify tabs... then again the favicons work for me quite well lately too).

So *I* somehow live with it and actually I don't mind that much... After all, the less time I spend on web, the more time I can spend doing something more productive, so if some of missing extensions turned my web-time down, even better.

Of course I can fully understand your stance, and I support you, I don't like these "cut down" versions of modern SW at all. At least "Quantum" promised some performance gains thanks to the more lighweight build, and I didn't notice opposite, which is sort of success nowadays. Maybe it's even truly lighter. Then again since the moment Firefox tried to push the address bar under tabs, like Chrome has, I lost all my hope for it (and that's another thing I have to always fix after firefox install, in certain versions I had to manually edit the CSS files of the browser UI, when there were no working extensions available). At this moment I still use it, because I don't like any other option, but there were times when Firefox felt truly dear to me...

Also there are non-alcoholic beer drinkers, BTW (not me, I don't drink any alcohol, and I don't like taste of beer). JFYI, that people have different needs and taste. I have for example no problem to understand, that you really want all your extensions, but that's probably unfair, because I was in similar position too (then again removing the old insecure APIs from web browsers is making my extensions-life more complicated, but my paranoia is getting more under control ... as a programmer I have unfortunately very good idea, what is *possible* with modern SW, so removal of things like Flash? I'm for it. Then again the JS issue is unfixable at this moment, as people actually want pages fully dynamic, so things like crypto-mining in browser by some rogue script are sometimes possible... it started as static page viewer, and now web browser is small OS inside OS. I don't find that particularly good idea.

----------------- enough rambling...

I did check front page of GOG again, and seems like they removed all videos from it, at least that's how it assembled for me just now (I think it may depend on which games are displayed, and also on particular game page, the series/similar/.. games listed toward bottom did try to load youtube, so it's not gone completely).

So I tried to roam around the front page for a bit, the card jumping out on hover is decent, not annoying me, and the page as whole seems now lot more consistent and static, not trying to surprise me when I want to reach some point on it (although the initial loading must finish, and that takes some time, that page could be delivered probably in 1/10 of data, would somebody optimize it properly).

It feels quite good, again... thanks GOG. Now please do some reasonable research, if design like this works better or worse compared to automatic videos, but if you have real numbers that videos are better, than I don't want to live on this planet any more... :)

The latest Firefox(November 2017) is not compatible with your favorite extension that you don't mention. Most extensions have been ported and work fine. The great thing about the new extensions is that they are much more isolated from the core browser. This means they can do less. Less functions, less damage, less instability, less conflicts between extensions. But also better performance and easier development of the core browser.
I love Firefox since this update because it is now just as fast as the latest Chrome. Chrome still feels like a beta product compared to Firefox. Even Edge feels more complete and is starting to become a pretty great browser. Shout out to Vivaldi which is a great poweruser browser.

AMAZING. Extensions that don't do anything, but hey... at least they don't crash! You've convinced me.

They should have merged the reviews. No point in having two different review sections for regular and deluxe edition of the same game.

Pretty much the reason why I reverted to a very old ff build (the other being the new search bar system is total crap). The best addons don't run on quantum, and those who do... need to reload the page after 1-2 minutes to be fully enabled by FF (this is why you see advertising on the first load even if you have uBlock enabled).
Wonder if he's a FF developer.

No kidding. A very bad idea from where I'm standing. And you could, theoretically, disable scripting and what not in browsers generally, but then just about nothing would work anymore because sites are designed for that :/

I'm running Firefox Quantum 64.0 with NoScript, uBlock Origin and Decentraleyes and the only script I have to allow is gog.com and the site works good for me.
I still access GOG using Opera though, since that and my bank are the only sites I access with Opera so even if they do track me they won't see where else I go, and I still don't get any ads with Opera (I really, really dislike ads). I use Firefox for You Tube and the Steam forums and nothing else. For all other surfing I use PaleMoon.

I am glad they got rid of that ridiculous ReCaptcha they had for a short time. I hate that thing.

Still highly disliking the sorting on the main page now, especially news so far down, and those annoying curator collections so prominentely upfront.

They removed the gogmixes to replace them by shill curators.

So, by the sound of it, you can use any browser with GOG, as long as it's the correct one, which people aren't quite sure what that might be.

Well, I use FF and it should work with that. I can safely say that it really isn't my problem that it doesn't work on a site that's riddled with bugs. Just as it isn't the problem of those who use other browsers.

I'd be very interested to see how all of this has affected GOG's bottom line, especially over Christmas. Like some, I haven't made any further purchases, because i just don't trust a site that has such problems. Like Fuz, I've been downloading my back catalogue of games (Galaxy free, of course), because with each change GOG makes, I get an unnerving sense that the site, and it's ideals, are being moved slowly towards somethig different.

But, if we start getting "retro changes" being made in the near future, then we can be assured that it really has caused problems with GOG finances.

Oh yea, GOG went from ok to really really bad. Now i cannot find old game, THEY REMOVED a option to filter games by release date (pre 2000, from 2000 - 2004, from 2005 -2010 ....). Now they are burying old games with newer games.

They were saying that GoodOldGames are not going anywhere ... well, i see that they are going back to the grave.

I am glad to report that since at least a few days ago this issue is solved, I can now watch store pages without issues on Android. :)
