I hate browsing to some sites,, I get bushwahcked,, I know I need faster laptops but still, some of the data hogging that goes on is pitiful, lags, delays, Firefox has gotten worse , IMO,, sad. I remember the ancestors, enuf is enuf.

It gets pushed on us eventually, upgrade or uhhh die...

Apparently they have removed some options — like turning off javascript easily. I’ve reset my options under Tools not to update without my approval.

Feature creep killed Firefox for me years ago.

At one time, it was the best. Now it’s a has been.

What happened with Waterfox 64? I was turned on to it by a FReeper post here. I don’t think the 18.0.0 version changed since the day I DL’ed it months ago. Is it no longer getting updated?

I just switched from the 32 bit version to 64 bit (22) last week. Been getting pop ups galore. Not sure what went wrong...

Can this version finally size webpages correctly?

I had to remove the previous version from mine and a few family members computer because every website was displaying super zoomed and way too big.

Many seemed to have this problem and none of the online fixes work.

Opera for some God knows reason removed the drop down button on the address bar so you have to type every website so I couldn’t use that

Google is just evil so I wasn’t going to Chrome

That left the Hobson’s choice of IE10, which annoyingly tends to get stuck on certain scripts and freezes, not to mention the extremely annoying constant Nag popup to manage Add Ons

So all these Browsers really blow right now.

I am almost tempted to find an old AOL CD and use them.

What does this version break?

Does it actually work with Adobe Flash now or do we have to wait for a Flash update?

Those 2 have been fighting each other since around FF version 12.

How many extensions/add-ons no longer work now?

Firefox has become exasperating with the rapid release insanity. That may be fun for programming nerds, but it is a massive hassle for anyone trying to use FF productively.

I don’t know—unless you have a machine with a really fast CPU and/or a lot of memory (e.g., 6 GB of RAM or more), I’d rather run the current version of Google Chrome. Not only is Chrome more HTML 5.0 compliant, but each tab runs in its own process, so if there is any browser crash all you need is shut down the tab to restore normal operation.

Release notes for FF v. 23 for those that want to check before updating.

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/releasenotes/

Apparently there are many who are unhappy with FF's Big Brother attempt at removing choice and functionality.

Found 1000 results for firefox 23 in English
