At work we are running 99% of all desktop activity on RHEL/CentOS for much more than a decade. That's why I'm wondering why such a Firefox breakage has such a low priority for upstream. Our users are used to Firefox with several add-ons like uBlock and others. Suddenly having to run it without them is quite a mess and asks for an immediate fix. That's what I'm wondering about.
