I am stuck at firefox 3.6.18

Every firefox version since then (almost 3 years ago) loads the saved window positions from the taskbar, IN REVERSE order. No fix in 3 years. These outfits create the customer dissatisfaction.

Now my bank is intentional blocking my firefox version from working, trying to force me to upgrade. I cannot control my own monies if I don’t change my computer ways.

They want you to upgrade because your version of firefox is hopelessly out of date.

I use Slimbrowser. It works very well.

Maybe you made a typo but it looks like 3.6.28 was the last for the 3.6 Firefox releases. Still, as a security fix it’s a year old and the underlying technology is years out of date.

I don’t understand what you mean by loading the saved window versions in reverse order compared to the 3.6 release. Have you reported the bug or do you just expect it to be known and fixed without prompting?

Your bank is absolutely right in blocking a release that old for your own security.

I just started FF and it’s up to v19.0, already, with updates and fixes.

Why don’t you use a virtualized version with the updated browser, specifically to access your bank, then just leave the version you want on your computer.
