I discovered that I had auto-update on my Firefox.

Yesterday afternoon I discovered it had updated my Dell Optiplex780. My machine didn't like it one bit. I promptly restored to 56.0.2 and turned off updates.

Thanks! I just updated and it does seem faster.

Here is an older thread that details the damage the new version will do. The main problem is that the new version automatically will make just about ALL extensions obsolete. Only a small number have been rewritten and available for use with this new browser configuration.

Mozilla Will Kill Legacy Firefox Add-Ons in Exactly Three Months (Now November 14, 2017)

Already installed!

It does seem faster........but it scrambled all my tools and buttons...............Now I have to learn where everything is all over again, like when they remodel the grocery store.....................

Been using FF for years. Love it. But this new version won’t remember custom text size settings for Free Republic

:(

Mine updated automatically today and now I am all screwed up
How can I go back to the previous version

Hard to believe anyone here still uses Firefox after they booted their founder for supporting traditional marriage.

When they did that, I deleted it from my computer, loaded Pale Moon and never looked back.

I’m currently enjoying Brave. The fastest browser I’ve ever used.

I had stopped using FF a while ago because it had become sluggish and often issues with running up my CPU while on sites using flash.

This newest version seems to be a huge performance and stability boost. Thanks for posting!

Mostly critical -ANGRY- reviews on Android Play Store.

I discovered that I had auto-update on my Firefox.

Yeah, I don't like surprises. Every PC I've built/purchased I end up setting each application to notify me of a new update but require me to accept the update.

In this case, I have some Firefox add-ons like classic themes and toolbars that won't be ported to Firefox 57+. I decided to take the time to check out other browsers (Opera, Vivaldi, Brave) since I'm being forced to learn a new interface anyway. I've been locked into Firefox since 2004 (Firefox 0.8).

Great. Now the thread loops and memory leaks will happen twice as fast.

Firefox is now using the Google platform.

It runs like Google’s Browser Chrome in other words.

I’ve been blocking updates since they said they were going to be killing the add-ons that made Firefox better than IE. And I’ve been slowly converting myself to Brave.

[Bob434]

Anyone running into problems with the addon adblock plus?

[hsmomx3]

It messed up items I do using Qualtrics and I reverted back to the previous version. I did not think it was any faster. I was disappointed. Also, it disables ad block features.

[central_va]

Seems better. I like.

[butlerweave]

I like my Legacy add-ons ,Firefox must pay ,LOL

Don’t like using Mozzlia products after what they did to Brenden Eich.

[LegendHasIt]

So, how much built in spyware is in it?

What does it report of your browsing, and to whom does it report?

[zeugma]

It will also break almost any extension you have.

To this day, I refuse to use Mozilla software. The wretched freaks that forced out Brendan Eich don’t deserve a share of the market Eich helped to create.
