User ID: 23262684 United States 05/12/2014 08:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm on the new Firefox and, for the first time in ages, its gone back to the bad old days of freezing and even crashing from time to time. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57980887 Soon, when Windows 8 is the only OS available and Firefox 183 and Google Tracker Chrome are the only browsers, the only option will be to return to pen and paper. There are days when I think the same thing. Internet for me is just for reading, research, entertainment and ordering online. What I don't like is that we're being pushed into this technology for aspects of our lives that if it goes down, many people won't know what to do. Back on topic: Noticed same as others re: new Firefox updates. I'd love to have a computing system and browser based on the Jitterbug phone concept. Easy, simple to use, streamlined to the point you only use what you use (software that is). Probably don't use 80% of what is available (functions in software) and the rest just gets in the way. Or how about software that you can pick which functions you use, shutting off all the others where they don't even talk to each other (yeah, I know more programming upfront, but would be easier for user on the back end). There are many functions in various software that I will never use, don't need, and don't want to waste the time learning, yet on some, you have too, because it's tied into the functions you predominately use. Tired of doing the beta testing for these companies. Just figure out the bugs of one software, then they upgrade it, and guess what, back to beta testing again. THEN when they get complaints, they patch/tweak it. Should have done that before releasing it. Last Edited by InTheGLPHood on 05/12/2014 08:52 AM |

Thanks for the add-on as another option. I just wish they would quit fixing what isn't broken. I've had updates in the past that made my add-ons stop working. Exactly! My Book Mark add-on quit working. I spent half of Saturday patching things up. I was of the information from Mozillas site, that you had to "remove" version 29 first,before going back to an earlier version. Is that not true? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24957083 United States 05/12/2014 11:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Glad I never allow auto updates of any kind....and glad I missed this one especially. Quoting: Useless Cookie Eater People have been bitching about it for days. You never know what you are getting. This one was the worst yet. It's sad. it's almost like Microsoft laid a turd with Windows 8 and Firefox felt compelled to produce one of their own as well. It's more like some asshole PHD that joined this group and released his study that this is the best interface ever. This is the current trend. Of course he gets his fucking grants and you get absolute shit and misery out of it. |

User ID: 56572304 United States 05/12/2014 11:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why is anyone still using Firefox after the way their CEO was fired? O yea, I remember, that was two weeks ago, we have all moved on. Quoting: Bonefortoona I am ashamed of you. I wont do my part to hit them back when they come for you. Enjoy your little militant gay browser. I think he resigned, but you definitely have a point. Makes me wonder if the firefox employees sabotaged the product in protest of the way that guy was forced out? I was glad to get the recommendation for Palemoon in this thread, that is new for me, I downloaded it and am going to give it a shot. I used to try to use Opera but I haven't used it for a long time now. |

User ID: 31976657 Spain 05/12/2014 02:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't care about the menus but this shit lags way more than the previous one. Banned as usual. “It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.” |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 56724424 United States 05/12/2014 05:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't care for it, but I'll live with it. I should have disabled automatic updates at FF28. The only beef I have about FF29.0.1 is that I no longer have the option of a little icon at the top to show/hide the left bookmark panel, but CTRL+B will have to do. Now they've got a percentage between the -/+ signs up there - guess it's kind of useful, but I would like to have my little bookmark icon back (boo-hoo). Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2268641 Me too! Used to be a single mouse click, now it's two hands (CTRL + B) |
