Jesus, if you’re still using a browser that like 10 major versions old, you’ve got bigger problems than worrying about a privacy plugin no longer being supported!

Versions are meaningless. It's just numbering.

128 came out in July of last year, which means that Firefox will deliberately block use of products after eight months.

That's fucking garbage. Software development and release lifecycles have turned into a "release-ignore-discontinue" cycle of barely long enough for consumers to constantly upgrade to.

Is there a way to find out how many security specific fixes were introduced in those 8 months?

I would agree with you only if the version updates were purely cosmetic, but I tend to see security patches with nearly every release. And 8 months sounds like an eternity to not be patched up.

They aren't deliberately blocking anything, but rather certificates are expiring.
