… Anyway, i rebuilt and uploaded again. Give it a whirl and let me know if it works. Might have just been a bad upload/download. Thanks.
Sorry, i could have been more clear where AF's profile is. In Linux AF's profile resides in ~/.org.wicknix/arctic fox/, not ~/.mozilla
@RobJos : The changlog for this release is nothing but mozilla based bug fixes and a few security updates. It's not supposed to make sense. Just know that they are good things. Like healthy treats for your browser.
Cheers
Please, which addons/extensions do you particularly recommend? I did already install AdBlock Latitude and Greasemonkey with the ViewTube script installed.
Thank you very much!

I've been in touch with the developer, Stephan Mahieu, very friendly and helpful even if his addon is now many versions ahead. He suggested adjusting a couple of settings in the prefs, but that didn't help. So, here's his conclusion (with his permission):(…) You'd have to ask its creator why it was doing that. Maybe you found a bug.While fine-tuning the Form History Control add-on (…) it had been saving the contents of a mail from a specific webmail interface that I always open in a Private Tab/Window. (…) To me this sort of… leak? doesn't seem right at all (…).
I find uMatrix to be the best all-in-one ad blocker, because it allows finer control than AB Latitude, or Origin. It's also more lightweight.

I think you mean ηMatrix.
This add-on seems to be interesting, but for a geek I guess. Its installation block all scripts, so the sites dosen't load correctly. I had to disable for every site. Without manual or tutorial it's unexploitable... Back to ublock origin.
Clicking on the icon provide an exhausted list off the scripts includede in the page code with columns, what to with that ?
nMatrix is a PM specific fork of uMatrix. Just an FYI.

Please keep us posted, madbiker31. z970mp's explanations seemed a bit complex to me, and to be honest I'm tired of complexity. But you seem to share my longing for simplicity, so if you find out that it's a better alternative to uBlock Origin & Adblock Latitude, I'd really like to hear about it.z970mp Thanks a lot for your precisions. I'm still interested to learn how to manage that add-on.

At the repository of ηMatrix I read thatWe're using a granular adblocker to put less strain on 15+ year old machines. Everyone needs to do their best, whether it be refining or deciphering.
Everything you see on that menu is a block representing something. Click the green upper-half of that block to whitelist it. Click the red lower-half of that block to blacklist it. Usually, all it takes to unbreak a website is whitelisting the top Scripts block, or the top XHR block, or the top Frame block, which whitelists everything under that block.
Typically, you would do this on the top row, to block all first-party scripts, or whitelist all first-party scripts (scripts originating directly from the website). Third-party scripts, which are scripts originating from something other than your website, meaning advertisements, are automatically blocked by default.
Experiment so you can whitelist as little blocks as possible and still get a functional website. That will put the least amount of work on your system, which means faster browsing.
Maybe this addon is meant for people with other needs? My machine is a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
