Interesting; but until they fix the browser from leaking so much memory it’s a broken browser.

Every version since 20 screws up the right-click context menu on FR pages.

Waterfox seems to work good for the 64 bit system. I use AVG Free antivirus and Lorias anti Trojan. I can run both of them at the same time. Microsoft security essentials is also part of my defense. Mrt is also used. Windows Defender is shut off by AVG so I don't use it. I do get a not responding opening some pages form Microsoft security but it is not as bad with Waterfox.

I gave up on Firefox’s rapid release insanity at version 15.

My bank tunnel security no longer works with my old version, but if I upgrade, several of my extensions/add-ons no longer work.

Similarly, I quit upgrading Adobe Flash, because it and Firefox had too many conflicts around FF version 12.

Firefox upgrades break more things than they fix.

Damn it! Seems just as I get my Firefox working and looking like I want, they come out with a new version that will screw everything up: Puts the tabs on top, disables a bunch of addons, scrambles/hides my menus, etc. The only “good” thing is that because I’ve had to change it back so often, I’m familiar with all the steps needed.

Anybody know why when I’ve put Firefox on two different laptops I started having trouble with both my touch pad and sound? Uninstalling makes the problems go away. Dell laptops.

I’m to the point of going back to Safari. FF 20.0
Ever since the last FF update I’ve had a problem of starting up. It gives me a blurb about being embarrassed but it can’t start in the tabs I was in when I quit the last time.
Fooling w/ the tab/window options has no effect.
Annoying.
Oh, another problem. Select Private Browsing and then try to go back to normal browsing. It’s stuck. Lose any cookies you may want (FR, banks, etc)
This is the same on 2 different Macs.
Really annoying.

I remember when Firefox was still relatively new. Lean, fast, and very customizable with numerous plugins.

It hasn’t been lean and fast in a while. Maybe these newer versions have restored Firefox to its old glory?
