The latest Firefox update (#40) was completely incompatible with my Ubuntu (12 something)

The address bar menu did not work
The desktop toolbar vanished if the browser was fully opened and the unity sidebar did not work in this situation
The mouse scroll wheel and the right button did nothing
Youtube froze it up

Since Pale Moon and Chromium won’t do a lot of stuff any more (Facebook, Twitter, email, videos) Firefox is all I have.

I spent hours looking and downloading the old version, and the first download failed.

Now that I got it, I’m back in business.

Have you tried the regular Google Chrome? You have to go to Google to download the Ubuntu version but open it up with Ubuntu Software Center and it should install it for you.

What issues are you having? I'm on Pale Moon and I've never had any issues with my email, videos, or Facebook. (Don't use Twitter.) I've only had two problems with Pale Moon, that alternate browsers didn't:

- Kingdom of Loathing has some page issues with rare images not showing properly. IE/Firefox worked.

- Any DoD login requiring CAC access (AKO, mil email, DTS), doesn't properly utilize security certificates within Pale Moon, so I have to use IE. (Firefox is iffy on working or not, usually not)
