Top Tip Firefox Quantum And The Missing Extensions

No, not a new Tintin adventure, but just to advise any others here who gave up Firefox in favour of Pale Moon owing to the absence of Web Extension Add-ons due to Legacy Add-on authors not adopting the new architecture that there have been some welcome developments.

Chuck Baker has finally converted the highly useful Paste E Mail and Paste E Mail Plus Add-ons. They're not yet as slick as the originals, but do the job nicely.
