OK, so when your OS is reporting things to your applications that you
consider wrong, then your solution is to use old, insecure versions of
the applications? Maybe you should either correct the OS settings or
install an OS you can actually trust?
My operating system is not "reporting things to my application
that I consider wrong". A new release of an application on
which I rely is terminally broken when used with medium-sized
fonts (125%) as opposed to the default of small (100%). This
has been widely reported elsewhere, but the only productive
recommendations are to (a) make changes to About:Config; (b)
create and add content to userChrome.css, and (c) create and
add content to userContent.css. It is clearly the case that
2.19 was /never/ tested against other than the default size
for Windows fonts, as it is inconceivable that it could have
been released had this defect been known to the developers.
Whilst I fully appreciate that lack of resources make it
impossible to regression test every release on every conceivable
platform and with every possibly user option, what we are
discussing here is the most widely used operating system in
the world and a user-preference on which, for reasons of
accessibility, a substantial minority of users will be
completely dependent. This problem needs to be addressed
/urgently/, and not require all affected users to make
changes to About:Config, userChrome.css & userContent.css

Right-on, Phillip. "First, do no harm"...as the physician's ethic puts it.
And I can say/add the same sentiment about ALL *basic* functionality of
the product and for ALL OS releases. That's just pride of
workmanship/proper QA, IMO.
