Any other options on the new Fire Fox?

Does it it have the optional “revert to previous less buggy version” option?

Firefox left me behind with their endless defective update routine and I haven’t been back. Now using Chrome, which has a couple of issues but they seem more predictable and manageable.

You can use F6 to type into the address bar again. That’s something that got me into Firefox in what, 2003?

I was not aware of 13..I am on 12.
I went to the Firefox web site to sign up for emailed news and updates.

I wonder when they will fix their problem with the “Plugin container” or get it to work with Flash player with out blowing up.

If it doesn’t crash, I’ll be happy. Still won’t give it up though.

I had that samples thing on a new tab...one time only.
Then it, the sample pages, disappeared. Now just a blank new tab.
I like FF 13 though. Works pretty darn smooth & fast.

Thunderbird also updated. I can now send larger files via it hook-up with "Send-It."

Looks interesting. Although, I use Drop-box for things like that.

So far so good. I’m back to firefox after giving up on weighty chrome.

I got irritated with FF12 and switched to Chrome. I’ll try FF again if Chrome manages to piss me off.

That new tab thing is the Google Chrome start screen, it is handy, Chrome does it better though. Other than that I don’t notice any differences at all.

I hate the damn “updates”. Every time they “update”, I have to spend the next week figuring out how to opt out of all the changes from the previous version that were working fine before they fixed the stuff that wasn’t broken.
