  • users are complaining : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1234012 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269706
  • possible workarounds: use mkaply's cck 2 tool https://mike.kaply.com/cck2/ , use ESR45 which doesn't have this change. Though following ESR will have the change. (51?)
