And that's quite unlikely to change. Almost any feature of FF that requires a setting's change (beyond trawling through about:config) also requires a third-party extension to do so.
A very basic example:
Built into Firefox is "Scratchpad" (an on the fly JS editor). The Scratchpad window is an implementation of CodeMirror. The code itself is utilized across many of the Firefox Dev Tools. Within the Firefox Dev Tools is a "Style Editor". Everything you need to access|change a site's CSS and custom User Css is implemented by Firefox except none of it is exposed, and there is no management gui to do so.
So we need to use Stylish or the mostly-broken-for-the-last-year "User Style Manager". Neither of these addons implement CodeMirror|scratchpad. USM's editor is the thing that breaks constantly and poorly implements some of the features of a Scratchpad window. Neither of these addons allow you to use a custom (external) editor for css - like GreaseMonkey does. Stylish stores your CSS in database files, so when Stylish breaks you don't even have css text files that you can access.
There's many such features like this in Firefox
Opera 12 was quite possibly the worst browser Opera has made in recent memory. Opera 10's development cycle was horrible - for most of it's existence you likely needed to use Opera 10.10 due to regressions and bugs. Opera 11's development cycle improved, then Opera 12 - bugs, regressions and the worst JavaScript engine out of all the browsers, including Opera 10 and 11.
Revisionist History? In fact we were told Opera Blink would NOT have many of O12's features. It also took over 2 years for Opera to have functioning bookmarks while the Opera Devs repeatedly claimed that we actually don't need bookmarks, users don't use bookmarks, just use SpeedDial and Stash! Yaaaaay.
As it stands now, 4 years later. Opera 30+...? You still can't organize your extensions on the only place you are allowed to put them (the address bar).
If you want a browser that is actually customizable - your options are Firefox and yeah Firefox. It almost galls me to say that after being an Opera user from 2000 to late 2012.
I hope it's enough. As is, it's almost impossible to find a decent AMD laptop. Your choices are HP, HP, HP, HP, sometimes Lenovo or Asus. Yet on Lenovo's own damned website they don't even offer|list the mid-to-higher-end machines you can buy with AMD. Lenovo lists 5 (3 models) and they are all low-end junk.
Different Use Case, I believe. Jail --> Honking Big Ass Server running a bunch of restricted processes. While said process is running self-contained, it's not easily transferable at all. DockerSelf-contained program (that can be plugged into many different systems now). Runs self-contained. Easily transferable, everywhere, anytime.
Think something like nGinx running as a proxy front-end, which could pass thru to servers, vms, dockers on a server, etc. Or using docker images of different configurations during development.
Jails just don't provide the same functionality beyond limiting a process in a very complicated manner.
I think you would be really hard-pressed to get a refusal to activate from a MS phone-rep, so long as your license is verifiably valid (and even in some cases when it's not valid, as you got scammed online).

Something like this Lenovo IdeaPad Y700: AMD A10-8700P, 15.6" (1920x1080), 8 GB RAM + 4 GB Radeon R9 M380 seemed pretty decent to me, especially when your budget is less than $1500 and preferably $1000.
Magic the Gathering, something you can DO together, and requires a fair bit of math, critical thinking and creativity.
Or this game "Spectromancer", which requires a fair bit of basic math (addition, multiplication over x-turns).
So I was trying to figure this out, I think I got about half-way...
In a time of fascist politicians spouting simplistic slogans about race, religion, terrorism, and censorship, along with whatever other pandering platitudes they believe will win them votes, prestige, power, and control — it's worth remembering how much good the Internet brings us, and how much poorer we'd all be in so many ways for the shackling of Internet services like YouTube, in the name of such self-serving proclamations and damaging false solutions.
So there are bad politicians trying to gather power. And because of that bad thing, it is somehow worth remembering that the internet is good. Furthermore without that good we would be very poor somehow in many ways without the "shackling of Internet services"... uh what? "in the name of such self-serving proclamations..." - oh wait the politicians are self-serving and youtube has damaging false solutions? No...
Yeah so, can anyone turn that run on sentence into an actual coherent thought?
Microsoft haven't forked Node.js, although they have been submitting to it's module library:
Visual Studio Code, Updates
Improvements for non US standard keyboard layouts
VS Code dispatches key bindings based on [keyboard codes](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd375731(v=vs.85). In keybindings.json and in all the UI, we used to render the key codes with the produced characters under the US standard keyboard layout. We received feedback that this was very confusing, therefore, we created a new Node.js module native-keymap that is used in VS Code to render the key bindings using the system's current keyboard layout.

Silicon, yes yes I know.
I think they might head in this direction: Random Key Generator, "on" Silicone using randomly wired chips created with carbon nanotubes.
So it would seem that someone liked New Wave in the 90's then.... ", Pt.2"
Wasn't Old Wave just plain better though?
Yeah but this is basketball, not an actual worthwhile sport like wrestling or hockey.

Or just use, uMatrix and have full control of: cookies, scripts, XHR, iframes, html-video tags, etc.
Or one can use, Privacy Badger, NoScript, Ghostery, and uBlock.
I'll stick with uMatrix.

And why the hell is the SSD slot limited to 64GB? Even my $100 MP3 player (FiiO) can take a 256GB card.

Couldn't PAM be configured to prevent "rm -rf /" ?
When it comes to VHS or audio cassettes, "work", is highly subjective. Since "work" includes: warbled to hell and back.
100%* Baby! Not that it matters. The wife has some Macs though.
(*) Although I don't know about my first white-box 0x86 PC, the 386, 686, and beyond have been AMD. Plus ARM, TI, etc in portable devices.

Hehehe that would be classic.
Magic the Gathering, something you can DO together, and requires a fair bit of math, critical thinking and creativity.

So couldn't this be used for "Ask Slashdot: Affordable Hardware For Remote-Booting USB Devices?"
So how do you deal with the wife constantly razzing you to get one? (Or maybe that's just me).
Which is far more interesting than TFA's actual "summary-run-on-sentence".
