If true, I may try it out as I'm still on FF 3.6 because my favorite add-ons get disabled with each update. I say "if true" because commenters say they still have problems with disabled add-ons.
Have any FReepers tried the new version?
Tech PING!
Just upgraded to it, and not before time, IMHO - Adobe Flash plugin was crashing the thing almost daily. Not much to tell you yet but I’ll give the thread a BTT...
Mozilla also released Firefox 3.6.26, the latest security update for the two-year-old browser, to patch five vulnerabilities, four of them critical.Firefox 3.6 is closing on retirement: Mozilla has said it will stop shipping security updates for the browser after April 24.
To replace Firefox 3.6 - which many enterprises retained when they balked at upgrading every six weeks -- the company also kicked off the first edition of Firefox ESR (extended support release).
Firefox 10 ESR will be supported with security updates through its 54-week lifespan, but its user interface and feature set will not change during that stretch. Mozilla will upgrade ESR users to a new edition starting Nov. 20, 2012.
I just upgraded to F10 yesterday. It seems to be less of a memory hog than the last several versions.
I downloaded Firefox day before yesterday and it was so slow it was painful. I trashed it and went back to Safari. I have no clue what the problem was.
I’m afraid to try the new version. Each one seems to get slower and slower these days. Every time they up the version number, it adds like 500ms to the time it takes javascript to do anything or bookmarks to register being clicked. What a mess...
I installed it this morning when AVG was demanding a reboot. Looks fine, I hope the issues with the infamous “Plug-in Container” have been resolved.
I loaded 10. Most add-ons were compatible. A couple were upgraded by the next day.
I also use an add-on called IsItCompatible? which shows which versions of FF my add-ons will work with.

I also use FEBE, a FF extensions & preferences back up utility. I used it to install my last greatest preferences from version 9.
I will be glad when Mozilla stops the insanity of a new version every few weeks.
"Have any FReepers tried the new version?"I stay two releases behind simply because Mozilla does not work closely with their partners / add ons.
Love Firefox though!
My 2¢…
Upgraded the other day. I’ve already noticed less crashes and ‘less’ memory usage.
Why would you not use Firefox? Have use it for many years - all versions. Could not go to another Explorer if I wanted...heh.
Actually, I’m surprised that there are those that still use other browsers.
No, no connection to Mozilla...just love their free products. Thanks folks...
Am logged in as Administrator as I always am.
Have tried running the 10. exe several different ways
Still get an
access denied
error.
What can I do, please?
I’ve tried and am trying the new version. It’s fine but for one maddening issue.
Whenever I close the browser, it logs me out of every site that I have in a tab. Every time. I’ve tried changing settings in the about:config, settings in the options menus, even ran a disk check and looked over my event viewer.
I cannot get it to quit doing this. If anyone has any ideas I may have overlooked, I would certainly appreciate it. Nothing like spending my limited morning FREEP time logging into everywhere....
