It seems that NOSquint has quit working and so I am asking how to fix it or replace it with a similar add-on as it seems other zoom add-ons are also broken?

About 4 or so updates to the developer edition 64-bit broke NoSquint, which you have as a recommended add-on. I use this add-on a lot and it just quit working and it seems that it also broke any other zooming add-on that have site by site prefs set. I also use the site by site color settings. I like to make certain that links are set to one color for visited and another color for those that I have not visited. Nothing I have tried can do all the NoSquint can do and I am really trying to find a way to fix it, or at least something that will actually work!!

If you need to use Win64 Firefox then why not use Firefox 45.0.1 Release as there has been Win64 Firefox Releases since 42.0. www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

NoSquint was last updated April 20, 2013 - almost 3 years ago. It broke on Nightly back in January - https://github.com/jtackaberry/nosquint/issues/195 - and hasn't yet been fixed.

Developer Edition is an alpha2 level pre-release version of what will become Firefox in 6 to 12 weeks. Few add-on developers fix breakage until much closer to the Release of each new version of Firefox during the Beta phase or even wait until after the Release date.

If you "must have" specific add-ons in order to use Firefox, it is best to stick with the Release version and stay away from the pre-release versions - Beta, Developer Edition, and Nightly.

Did you check for issues caused by other extensions?

Create a new profile to test if your current profile is causing the problem and install only NoSquint in the new profile.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

So let me get this straight, Firefox breaks a program that you guys are touting as a recommended add-on, and you will do nothing? Is that right? I need a 64 bit program and since Firefox has only deemed that it is in the developers edition so I get screwed in the mean time! I am more and more thinking about going to my old pre-webkit opera as my default browser until the fix this issue. The developer of this add-on is not the one who broke it, You guys did, so you should fix it!!

Why do you "need" Firefox 64-bit?

The Aurora aka Developer Edition (a2) builds you are Testing are more unstable as the channel gets checkins almost every day and therefore a update each of those days (similar with Nightly). This can sometimes create issues in different ways until fixed or reverted or be intentional even.

Release < Beta < Aurora < Nightly


Also everybody who has posted in thread are users as we did not break Firefox ;)
