Why don't add-ons show what version they are, and what does the big yellow LEGACY mean?

Chosen solution

If you click "more" on your add-ons, you can see the version of the add-on. And legacy is termed as ... Add-ons built with the old technology are labeled “Legacy” in the Add-ons Manager (about:addons) tab.

cooked said Agreed, sort of. I added IceDragon to my startup programs and low and behold, I got a black screen. After going through another restart I managed to get into safe restart without Internet and then uninstalled Commodo Cloud antivirus and Comodo internet security. It seems that my existing antivirus program (Windows Defender and Antispyware) conflicts with Commodo. A bit mean not to mention this. However I must say that it is a nice browser and I haven't given up on it yet. </blockquote>

Nope I had to completely remove every trace of icedragon from my computer and mess around with the F12 key to get things to work again (countless retarts) Not worth the panic, I'm sticking with Vivaldi </blockquote>

Sorry to hear that I am running Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Premium and it has been ticking over nicely for the few hours I have been using it.

I discovered the Steve2526 post today and installed Comodo IceDragon I will use this I was trialing Opera as I new it had Fireshot which is a must have for me but it is very primitive in Opera. When setting it up it imported everything from FF so quick to go with my book marks added the extensions you wouldn't know it has a different brand name.

Hmmm....I have the Cloud Antivirus along with Windows Defender and Firewall. No conflicts here. More important - no virus!

Has anyone found out how to attach userChrome to Ice Dragon?

It means that Firefox is limiting the ability for others to control their user interface experience on Firefox. Very shameful that FF is becoming more like the other "big browsers." What has distinguished FF is the ability to customize the browser's interface.
